I would say arguing over attributes syntax while just brushing through a JIT that helps 3.5% on Wordpress fits your description quite well, really. (Said JIT vote was 50–2.)

I'd be interested in a link to the data behind the 3.5% improvement of WordPress with JIT. When it comes to JIT for PHP in general though, I think it's important to remember the RFC itself described it as pretty simplistic JIT and way far behind other JIT implementations for other languages. It's a first cut, a foundational effort. I'm certain over time past 8.0 it will continue to be improved and hopefully have a more dramatic impact on key PHP codebases like WordPress.

The 3.5% number is on the RFC page: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/jit

As for being a first cut; yes indeed, and a dead-end foundation is much worse than no foundation.

In my experience, Wordpress suffers from two things: 1) PHP Devs notoriously dislike it, and 2) The hooks system is potentially very frustrating to work with.
