I would argue that the introduction of this into the core is adding more feature bloat into the language that is not quite needed at this point.

Annotations cannot be considered bloat because are being used increasingly everywhere that is a clear indication that they are required as part of the PHP core as much as many of the Spl classes. It should be clear by now that the PHP community really do want annotations.

Can you back this up, please?

Just because developers are using annotations does not necessarily mean we need a new syntax.

At this stage, if someone has done the work to make this happen, the discussion really should be more about polishing that contribution and making sure it provides a robust solution to this feature than trying to postpone or find reasons to put this off.

I've gone on record as stating that annotations within docblocks are sufficient, and would rather see native support for parsing docblocks for annotations than introducing a new syntax. Others have stated the same. I'd like to see why a new syntax is considered "necessary", and why native support for docblock annotations is not considered a reasonable path.
