It may have been sparked by me. I recall asking some basic questions
when I first heard we might be switching to PHP. I recall the discussion
got beyond the point where it mattered to me any more, so I stopped
reading this NG for a while.

Yes, and as a matter of fact, it seems that Symfony may be somewhat
specialized anyway, so a "Symfony programmer" is likely more expensive
than a "regular PHP programmer". Luckily for my, Symfony "feels" like
Java in many ways, so I'm very comfortable with the idioms.
We live in interesting times.
