Symfony leaving PHP-FIG

[Fabien Potencier]

Most of you have probably seen my pull request to remove Symfony as a member project,

and I wanted to follow up and clarify a few things.

Symfony has always aimed to promote and follow various standards, and many of the

PSRs have been absolutely instrumental in advancing PHP in this direction. Symfony

has supported, encouraged, and implemented these PSR's - and the people involved

deserve a thanks for their efforts.

However, I want to confirm that Symfony would like to be removed as a member project.

Interoperability & standards are still as important as ever, but we believe that the

direction the group is taking is diverging from Symfony's interpretation of the

original mission statement written on the PHP-FIG's homepage:

"We're a group of established PHP projects whose goal is to talk about

commonalities between our projects and find ways we can work better together."

We will continue to implement the PSRs relevant for the Symfony project.

Thank you for your understanding,

Fabien

Sad to see Symfony leaving. While implementation was never a requirement, I’d much rather see you name a replacement instead of leaving FIG altogether.

Thanks for contributions.

I echo Joe's sentiments. While I'm always sad to see a project leave, there is never a requirement to implement any of the PSRs. While we are starting to dig into more implementation-specific PSRs, I feel like those are good places for projects to step up and work with the Working Groups that they feel affect them.

That being said, thank you for the time and effort put into the group.
