This Week in PHP Internals — July 29 (recorded at Laracon US!)

42 RFC ballots open at once. The 35-ballot deprecation vote has list() LOSING 17-19, _() failing 6-18, and dechunk split 15-13. Caleb White's pipe assignment operator (|>=) split its vote 8-8-3. Readonly defaults (17-0) and const object property writes (11-2) are clear. Time\Duration closes Friday at 33-1 with full method names winning 28-2. And the literal scalar types vote lasted exactly 18 minutes before its own author retracted it over process rules — it reopens tomorrow.
