Well, as you know some developers do not really care about PHP 6 and just leave it lying around without the proper merged from stuff that are put in PHP_5_2 at the moment. IMO this is just another attempt to stall PHP 6 developed (and adoption). I would be against merging those two things back to PHP_5_2. There is no compelling reason to do so. However, something that *is* a good reason is some lower level engine stuff that people will actually benefit from. regards, Derick -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
