what we never merged for reasons is large file support. So 32bit machines can use files >2G. The patches there open a can of worm with libraries/environments we link to and where we might exchange file pointers. Besides the binary compatibility and required review and testing there is no such reason here. The biggest issue here is that people might be careful about changing request handling as that's quite central to PHP and a bug there can lead to remote exploitable bugs, but doing this early, like now for 5.6, should be fine. joahnnes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
