Well in/for reality I only care about the documentation. If the RFC has no use to communicate a
qualified decision, this should be clearly written down somewhere if that is a common good.
Also I have problems to decipher the "11th commandment" - "Thou shalt not speak ill
of any fellow Republican." ???
And as you talk about it: do you know if there was criticism with the yearly release cycle before
the new release process? I can imagine a time when a new PHP major was released in a ~yearly cycle,
but I can not remember that somebody didn't consume those nor was hurt by that.

Thanks for your feedback and please rest assured that I'm not entitled to any opinion about
Zend in this case. Actually the opposite is the case which is why I was asking again.
I normally would expect that there is something positive (in contrast to non-negative) in opening
the source, e.g. getting a benefit from the collaborative development model.
