Good afternoon internals,

What is the status of the extension namespace RFC
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaces_in_bundled_extensions)?

In the near future, I plan to work a bit on the ext/gd one. Adding
quite a few things I have in my queue for too long. Check
https://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues/705 if interested.

I am not sure about the base NS to be used. if I follow the RFC, it
should be Image\.

What do you think?

Best,

The RFC states:

| The top-level namespace should match the extension name (apart from
| casing).

So shouldn't the namespace rather be Gd or GD?

Ah I missed that part, I was looking at examples  :)

I would go with Gd, double uppercase is "harder" to type  :)

+1.  That also matches GdImage and GdFont.

Hello,

I am not fond of 2-letters namespace names, juste saying it for the sake of saying it. Does the policy cover that ?
