affect the language, so I believe it requires a 2/3 majority.
I'd consider it a language-changing RFC. The 2/3 majority is related to
material changes in the language, and as you said, syntax changes are just
one (although the most common) such example. The 50%+1 is really for
extension-level changes - mostly new functions/extensions, moving stuff
to/from PECL, etc.
It is not, there is no change from user level but on windows and a 1-2
other platforms with long being 32 bit in 64bit.
Also I find amazingly disturbing the amount of efforts you are putting
to shut down this RFC, without a single comment in the last months or
weeks, not even now to explain your vote.
I do not mind a no, but what is happening here is disgusting, to say it nicely.
