PHP core contributors Ilija Tovilo, Alex Rock, and Diogo Cruz responded with skepticism, asking for clarification on what the function would actually do, pointing out that favicon handling is already defined by HTML standards via the tag, and questioning why this should be in PHP core rather than a Composer package, given that PHP is used in many non-web contexts and favicon locations are not standardized. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
