I am fairly certain you heard me say this in the thread for PHP 4
constructors. To be clear in that context I meant ten years, not PHP
8. This number is based on a blog post by Tony Marston (an active
contributor to that thread), which I cannot link to because his blog
is currently on the Spamhaus Block List.

That aside, I sure hope that PHP 8 is not another ten years after PHP 7 :)
