What's the motivation behind this?

[GrahamCampbell]

It's dependency heavy, and php-parser conflicts are becoming more and more of an issue for people these days.

WHY? 😳

[GrahamCampbell]

The plan is to still have tinker in the default app structure, but it will be removable if people want.

[JosephSilber]

I can't imagine building a Laravel app without Tinker.

Maybe that's just me.

I can't imagine building a Laravel app without Tinker.

Yeh, the idea isn't to remove it from laravel, rather, just make it so that it can be removed, in order to install something else that conflicts with it. This also means that tinker can now be dropped into lumen. :D

It would be in the default "require" so it would still ship out of the box. It would just be its own component.

Are they?

Oh, like #16773?
