I see your point, but I think if we start adding "features" to an experimental feature is a bad idea, it becomes a concern when people start to rely on experimental features. I don't think it will be a huge concern for the RMs (cc'd) of 5.5 to consider removing curlwrappers, then we are done with that once and for all and we don't even need to add the constant as it would be odd that just a few versions of 5.4.x would have it. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
