Hi everyone,

Voting on Bob and I's RFC for a shorter syntax for list() ran from 
2016-04-27 to 2016-05-08, and has now closed.

By 41 votes in favour to none against, the RFC has been approved for PHP 
7.1. We will now work towards merging into master.

Votes can be seen on the RFC page: 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/short_list_syntax

Thank you to everyone who participated!
