FF officially hits on Tuesday, so here's the status of the repo:
IF YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS INCLUDED IN THE TO: FIELD, THEN YOU HAVE HOMEWORK
ATTACHED.

RFCs still in voting phase:
* StackFrame class: This seems poised to fail, so no action needed.
* Phar Metadata unserialization: This is poised to overwhelmingly pass.
- Tyson, please get this merged Monday evening to avoid timing issues
with the FF branch. It's okay that the vote is technically open till
Tuesday. In the extremely unlikely scenario that enough people change their
vote at the last minute, we can deal with that.

RFC voted on, but implementation not merged:
* APXSLoadModule https://wiki.php.net/rfc/apxs-loadmodule
- The text of this RFC says the fix is "quite simple", but no
implementation is attached, and a cursory search does not appear to reveal
any new code merged for this.
- Kris, this is your RFC to shepheard.  Please mark as implemented, get
in merged tomorrow, or defer till 8.1
* DateTime and Daylight Saving Time Transitions
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/datetime_and_daylight_saving_time
- Again, no implementation attached, and no obvious sign anything has
been merged.  Same rules, mark it, do it, or defer it.
- Daniel/Derick? Is this done?

RFC apparently done, but still marked Not-Yet-Implemented (these should be
formally marked as Implemented in 8.0 by their RFC owners -- both Niki):
* Shorter attribute syntax
* Reclassify Engine Warnings

RFC explicitly permitted to extend beyond Feature Freeze:
* Shorter Attribute Syntax Change
- Joe/Derick - Please make sure this RFC moves along and reaches
conclusion by beta3, as discussed previously.

This RFC is mostly a description of how things should work, and not
really a new feature RFC. Some parts of it have been implemented, others
are still outstanding (but there are "SKIP"ed test for it). I would like
to fix this for PHP 8.0, but this is a bug fix, and hence should have
little influence on the feature freeze.

The only thing that is considered a new "feature" is "This RFC proposes
adjusting the time string parser to handle strings containing DST and
ST.", but that would be a new feature in "timelib" now, of which I will
merge the latest develop branch soon. It will not implement this new
'DST/ST' parts yet.

I'm picking this up and reworking it with Benjamin's ideas, which I
think is the way forwards.

cheers,
Derick
