Good afternoon,
My sincerest apologies about all the mess earlier and the delay. Both me and Zeev are happy enough with the RFC, so the voting for this RFC has started (again). It shall end on 2014-07-30 (next Wednesday, a week’s time) and it won’t be cancelled this time.

Thanks!

Somewhat unrelated to this vote in particular, but someone mentioned on
IRC that it would be cool to see votes chronologically so I wrote a
short JS snippet that does just that. In case anyone is interested for
archeological purposes:

did you consider resetting the vote as the text was changed multiple times
after the voting begun?
I also think that it would be reasonable to have two weeks for the votes to
come in, as https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting states that "There'd be a
minimum of 2 weeks between when an RFC that touches the language is brought
up on this list and when it's voted on is required." and while the code
impact for this rfc is really small (modifying the version numbers), but it
is an important decision for the project and for the language.
sorry if it feels being too bureaucratic

That refers to the minimum time for discussion, I don’t think we need 2 weeks for a vote. In a week’s time when the vote would end, if it looks like not enough people have voted, I suppose it could be extended.

argh, you I right, the relevant part is "The voting has minimal period of 1
week, which can be extended when circumstances warrant it.", so one week is
fine by the rules.

Wow, looks like the PHP 7 votes are dominating so far. If you want to
avoid the confusion and ridicule that will result from skipping a version
increment, I suggest you remember to cast your vote.
Editorial aside, I'm glad that the two sides were able to come together and
get this to a vote finally.

Since PHP6 existed then sorry but using it again is just as confusing ;)
There will be ridicule either way, so that is no reason for reusing a
version number again. We just tag PHP6 exactly as it is documented -
closed in 2010 - a fact that seems to have been dropped again from the
arguments in the RFC :(

Let's keep this clean and not start a 100 email thread restating what both view points have already said many times or do an artificial rally.

The vote has ended. By 58 votes to 24, the next major release of PHP, to succeed the 5.x series, shall be named PHP 7.
Hopefully this is the end of the matter and we can get onto matters of implementation and features, rather than naming. :)
