Research direction

Start by locating the PHP image build configuration that controls the NTS and ZTS variants, then compare the existing -zts option with the requested -nts option. Confirm the PHP 8.6 RFC direction with the maintainers before changing defaults. Done means ZTS is the default and NTS remains available through -nts.

Description

Hello php-docker team,

I'm currently in the process of creating a RFC to deprecate building the NTS flavour for PHP 8.6 and removing NTS entirely in PHP 9.0. It appears that all maintainers I've been talking to are generally in favour to save on CI and source maintenance.

@TimWolla suggested I raise this here and see if you're willing to switch the defaults to ZTS already (with a -nts option available, like there is currently -zts).

Happy to answer all and any questions you have.
