Alec: To help keep track of votes I made a public Google doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11I7noRyNPbmgeFc1OSAFZfCfY3w3U4kNHpTVds09JCw/edit?hl=en I have recorded the 4 so far, but everytime you vote--or if you notice someone voted and didn't record it on the Google doc, please record it. This will help us keep track of votes because sometimes they can get lost in the list.

Zeev Suraski: You got me... But as an intelligent human being I'd like to think I can evaluate the merits of a feature without having to actually use it. I'm not saying that annotations don't give you any value. Sure they do. I'm saying that they come at a great price of adding an obscure branch of syntax into a language that's already grown significantly in complexity, and the bang for the buck isn't worth it. Those advanced developers needing that feature can make do with phpdoc. Zeev
Zeev Suraski: I hope I won't stir the pot too much, but with all due respect to the vote of at-best a two digit subset of an arbitrary 3000+ subscribers to internals, there's an overwhelming majority amongst the principal developers of PHP that voiced an opinion against it. While we have no official rules or structures for voting features into PHP, PHP being a meritocracy, that should be enough to put this RFC to bed. Zeev
Ferenc Kovacs: it can't see your point. if the current phpdoc would be enough, then they wouldn't propose the annotation. if you can't do everything with phpdoc that you could do with annotation, then I can see 2 choice: - forget the advanced stuff, but in this case, don try to sound as the phpdoc would be an alternative - extend the phpdoc support to cover the missing parts: how would that less obscure? phpdoc isn't up for the task. if you did read the RFC and did your research about the annotations, then
