Hi,

this is so sad to see that development for Silex is being stopped. To me Silex was the best MicroFramework for PHP. I have dozens of projects depending on it. I think the current maintainers had done a great job.

The problem ist, not all my customers will be willing to pay for migrating to Symfony. Also in the past years i've made this experience way too much, that you write an application and then all off a sudden the Framework is being abandoned or the next version is incompatible with your old code. For example Zend Framework 1. For this reason, i will never use a full fledged framework again. MicroFrameworks are at least so small, that you can support it your self if you must.

I don't want to see Silex to dissappear. It was way to good. I would like to ask if there would be anybody willing to help me with a fork and help Silex to stay alive, even if it has to be renamed. The main goal would be to establish a stable release, that will be supported for at least 3 years. The second goal would be to catch up with Symfony and be able to use Symfony 4 components.

Best,

Gunnar
