on Reddit left some very usefull insights in how we documented Symfony CLI (ref). An excerpt from the comment:I think this is very usefull information. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with the binary being closed source, but obviously there are people that feel uneasy about it. As we're an inclusive community, I think it makes sense to tell people upfront "hey, this is a closed source tool".
This effectively changes nothing, but would solve part of the problem of these people that now feel excluded. It also opens the possibility to point people to a location to report bugs in the binary (previously, we only mentioned it in the Local web server guide).
I was against documenting the PHP built-in server in the docs, to not make it more complicated. But as it's used by community members and just a very small one-liner, I think it's nice to have a small note about it. Again, it's a small note, but it potentially solves a huge thing for others.
@fabpot @nicolas-grekas @javiereguiluz @weaverryan As I'm totally not into all strategy and ideas behind Symfony, I would like your opinions/reviews here. The goal at the very minimal is to not upset people with the changes in this PR.
