All,
I have to add something here.
Many of the people voting on that RFC have never ever contributed as much as
a single line of code into the PHP source tree, and a couple have literally
contributed low-single-digit patches.
Incidentally, as far as I could tell, all of them[*] voted in favor of the
proposed changes (i.e. source compatibility breakage).
Even though having non-code-contributors makes a lot of sense for decisions
regarding the language's features and we built in support for it in the
voting RFC, in my opinion, it makes no sense at all for people who have no
stake at the development of the language's source code to weigh in on how
that code is written. Personally I didn't expect we'd be voting on things
like that (implementation style) back when I was involved in the voting RFC,
but perhaps it's time to amend it a bit.
If you fall in that category, please do the right thing and delete your
vote.

You might need to contact such people individually, since they
conceivably will miss your email in the morass of postings.
I would be interested in your opinion on the majority required:
