It is bike-shedding in a way, but I think it’s also a direction PHP is taking (becoming more strict, more rigid, less “hacky”). Switching to Postgres follows the same philosophy I think. Migrating existing services is usually a stupid thing to do, but anecdotally I know a number of PHP shops adding pg to their infra and building the new services there. I’d compare it to the switch to unicode everywhere or normalizing dates on UTC.
