How exactly "PHP community at large" supposed to verbalize its expectations, if not through discussion of language features? IMO, by posting statements like the one above you suppress (possible) discussions.

They are human and may miss some possibilities. I do not say that I will necessarily point to those possibilities, but still it is possible. Moreover, developers might not use the language the way I do.

I did not ask developers to break BC. In fact, I did not ask developers to do anything at all.
