Dear internals,
After a cool-down period, I am announcing to reopen the vote of the RFC ‘Add Form Feed in Trim Functions’
Wiki page: PHP: rfc:trim_form_feed
discussion thread: php.internals: Re: Add form feed as a whitespace character in trim, ltrim and rtrim
Cheers,

The poll is still listed as closed on that page. I think you forgot to update the voting widget to have a different question. (That's the unique ID used by the wiki.)

The cooldown period after canceling a vote is 14 days, which have not yet expired. I also believe you might have missed the “target version” discussion, at least you didn't reply there.
The RFC still states PHP 9.0 as the target version. As I mentioned in the other voting thread, I believe this to be a bad choice. I will vote no if the RFC is targeting PHP 9.0, I will (and did under the assumption that PHP 8.5 meant 8.6) vote yes if the RFC is targeting PHP 8.6.
Best regards

I guess I would like to wait for another 7 days to see if anyone has any questions on the version shift.
Cheers,

Hi Weilin,
Thank you for your work on this RFC.
I would also prefer that this change target PHP 8.6. The BC break is extremely minor,
more along the lines of a bugfix that makes the trim functions work as expected.
If every improvement with a tiny BC break is deferred to the next major release,
there becomes less reason to upgrade to minor releases, and then when a new major
version comes out and all the small BC breaks have to be dealt with at once the
upgrade is much more daunting. Spreading fixes/improvements with slight BC breaks
across minor releases makes staying up-to-date easier overall and more valuable.
Kind regards,
Theodore

I'm seeing that you updated the title of the vote and the changelog, but the “Proposed PHP Version(s)” section still mentions PHP 9.0.
