Remove "final" keywords from classes and methods in vendor packages with Unfinalize

Unfinalize is a package that uses PHP CS Fixer to permanently remove `final` keywords from composer vendor packages.

For me personally this feels very wrong. What do you think about that?

Just because one person said "final is bad", the Laravel fanboy herd is flocking to solutions like this. In my opinion, the package per se is not bad, but the unreflected, absolute statement "final is bad" is the problem.
- In my opinion, the package itself is bad. It suggests by its very existence that final is bad. It tempts to use dependencies in a way that was not intended by their developers.
  
  Yes the package pushes the notion "final is bad". Throw both into the trash.
