Mike,

Is this really ready for voting?

The RFC doesn't look too complete, IMHO.  For example, the section
"SAPIs Impacted" just contains the text "Web-SAPIs."  Which ones have
you identified?  How are they affected?  The RFC needs to be complete
enough that an outsider can understand the implications.

Another example: the RFC doesn't distinguish between internal default
INI settings and php.ini-* values, not even to mention if they are to
be kept in sync.

Well, probably, because I don't even know why I had to write an RFC
for this kind of stuff.

None are affected in a direct way. It's just that POST data will
probably only exist with web SAPIs or to be more explicit, SAPIs
providing a read_post handler.
Actually, no web SAPI had to be changed, just the CLI server hack
needed attention.

How about there are not many implications? Did you notice the BC
recovering userland code? There's really not much about it. I'm very
bad with talking much about nothing...

### From "Changes to PHP-5.6":

  * Change always_populate_raw_post_data INI setting to accept three
values instead of two.
    * -1: The behavior of master; don't ever populate
$GLOBALS[HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA]
    * 0/off/whatever: BC behavior
    * 1/on/yes/true: BC behavior

INI-default was not touched, I just changed the *commented* value in
php.ini to -1, the value providing future proof behavior.


### From "Backward Incompatible Changes to master":

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and always_populate_raw_post_data were removed.


Nothing more to add here, or is removed non-obvious?

Cheers,
Mike, who would have loved to talk about all that nearly *three* months ago.

Not sure, I can follow... I apparently don't have any 404s browsing
around and clicking the edit symbol?
