If you voted against the Interface Default Methods RFC for #PHP, please take a moment to read some of the most recent mailing list replies, starting with @Crell’s here: https://externals.io/message/120725#120798

I agree this feature goes against a lot of what I’ve learned as “best practices,” but I did a lot of introspection on this and decided that this feature is good for the future of the PHP language. It unlocks a lot of potential.

It looks like at least one person flipped their vote, so the vote is an even 50/50, now. It needs a 2/3 majority to pass, so if 5 more folks flip their votes, it’ll be passing.

@ramsey I haven't read the original RFC, but do I understand correctly that the proposal is to allow defining not just method blueprints in an interface but also (abstract) methods?

If so, I have had several situations where I wished this was possible and would love for that to be possible :)

@Skoop @ramsey the blueprint is already abstract methods.

It's about actual implementations. Which is an interestimg idea.

but please not under the name "interface"
