Hi all,
this is about the PFTT2 repository[1]. This was used by the Windows QA
team long ago, and had a short-term revival about 2019, but was then
dropped in favor of using run-tests.php, while all the other features
(such as PHPUnit tests for applications and frameworks, WebDriver based
UI testing) could not have been restored during the revival period.
There are still a couple of unfixed serious bugs like
* <Issues · php/pftt2 · GitHub;
* <https://github.com/php/pftt2/pull/84>
and most importantly, despite the name Fast Test Tool, it is actually
way slower than run-tests.php using a *single* worker.
I don't see any reasons to try to revive this project, so I suggest to
archive the repo.
Any thoughts, or even objections?

Cheers,
Christoph

Archive it, I'd say. Do I need to press buttons for that?

Great, I've just archived it. I deliberately did not close unresolved
issues and PRs, because if anybody still wants to use the software, this
tickets may be helpful (and not closing the tickets saved some time).
Cheers,
