Hello PHP,

I just started the vote on
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/normalize-array-auto-increment-on-copy-on-write
and I will close it in one week from now

From the discussion (https://externals.io/message/105992) it emerged the
intention to make the proposed change even stricter.

But, given that's a way bigger problem and difficulty, I decided to proceed
with this anyway for now, because it's compatible with future improvements,
and because fixes the most dangerous inconsistencies currently observable,
that is, arrays passed to third parties with unpredictable auto-increment
values.

Thank you for reading and for voting

All votes must be at least 2 weeks long after the "No short votes" RFC
passed.

Best regards

The RFC was posted 8 days ago and you need to wait another 6 days
before putting this to a vote, please put it back to discussion and
read the voting RFC:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting#discussion_period

Besides this, voting must happen over a 2 week period:

Ugh. I incorrectly remembered it was one week.
Sorry for the confusion.
