But the post on www.php.net is somewhat similar in that regard, at least in
the sense that it's premature and opinionated.
I think the way to deal with the misinformation is to move more quickly with
taking phpng forward; First get a formal agreement that it's going to
become the basis for the next version of PHP; Then double our efforts to
close the gaps so that users can start experimenting with it; And in
parallel, work on deciding what other changes go into PHP.next. I think
what we do is going to speak louder than what we say.
