i think this comment misunderstands what frankenphp and the foundation are.
its supports php because it is php. its built on top by loading it as a library. it doesnt implement the language so is not and does not want to be a replacement.
the foundation doesn’t choose where the language goes. They support development in various ways but language design goes through an rfc process influenced by lots of people.
frankenphp does come up in devel mailing list discussions. i think its largely thought it being an external project is a stregth but also closely part of the project.
Not sure why the php foundation didn’t look at frankenphp and said yes this will be the software for php9
NIH i guess
FrankenPHP is now part of the PHP Foundation’s work though…
