Like Ferenc said, there's a tone in that message that is not subjective.
I'm not even sure what it is, but it looks (or reads) awkward, and is unlike
anything I can remember in the last 17+ years on www.php.net.

I have no problem with blogging about it (on the contrary).  www.php.net
isn't a blog, though, it's the official news outlet of the PHP project and
typically deals only with concrete versions.  We never discuss anything
internals@ related there, and the soonest we ever mention a PHP version on
there is when it reaches alpha.

I'm also not saying phpng should be 'rushed', although I would definitely be
happy if it sped up a bit.  To put things in perspective, I think that if we
all work efficiently and everything aligns, mid 2015 is the soonest we might
see a phpng-based version coming out.  In order for that to happen, though,
we need to start moving things along.

I don't think this article should have been published on www.php.net in the
first place, and I don't think it should stay there just because it happens
to already be there.
