• RFC: Debugging PDO Prepared Statement Emulation v2 - The proposal to emulate the prepared expressions directly in PHP for the convenience of debugging successfully passed the vote, but caused criticism and the author updated the implementation.
• RFC: Deprecations for PHP 7.2 - In addition to adding new features, outdated ones are removed step by step. The next issue proposes to declare obsolete:
  
  
  • __autoload
  • $ php_errormsg
  • create_function ()
  • mbstring.func_overload
  • (unset) cast
  • parse_str () without second argument
  • gmp_random ()

• RFC: Abolish Narrow Margins - If the RFC does not imply major changes, then 50% + 1 votes are enough for a vote to be taken. However, it is believed that such changes can lead to adverse results. Therefore, it is proposed for any voting to raise the threshold to 2/3 of the votes.
