    PECL, the old home of PHP extensions, now has a proposed shutdown date. In the first draft, that date was the end of 2029. Six days later, after one misread word, it's the end of 2027. And the person who was misread is okay with it.

    Top story: PECL now has a proposed shutdown date. @asgrim, who wrote the RFC that adopted PIE, opened the follow-up: read-only from June 30th, 2027, then brownouts, then shutdown on December 31st, 2027. His first draft ran to 2029. @imsop flagged the risk of serving packages nobody can patch, @derickr suggested shortening it "by a year", and James cut it "to a year". Derick is okay with that, and @timwolla says the plan makes sense.
