No. This is a big guy in internals. Sad to see him step back like this, but totally understandable.

Internals suffers from simply having too many voices. As with all things you need a leader that is reasonable and can push things in the right direction.

For example, I don't think I've seen a constructive discussion on having some kind of object literal in the language to replace something like

    $obj = (object)['prop' => 'val', ...];
