Ok, here we go again. It was discussed on mainly discussed on
#php.pecl and from time to time on #windev-php with some devs not
present on #php.pecl, which both are well known. I do not see anything
wrong in discussing RFCs on IRC.
Almost all RFCs have been advertised outside the mailing list, on
tweeter or other. Again, I see nothing wrong with that. Peer pressure?
Do you mind to explain it please?
