Followup:
After read a couple articles, etc.. I think the best move, if you want
really want to push for php5 adoption is to stop working on php4, and
publish an EOL date. That would give the community the idea that the
makers of php are behind them in moving to php5. As it stands right
now, its very confusing for a lot of people (and companies) to figure
out just where php5 stands. Is it experimental? Alpha/Beta grade? Or
(what i think) the next and soon-to-be current generation of php.

Developers don't care what the adoption rate is themselves, as long as
they have the ability to use it themselves. The real issue is that
they have to be able to guage when companies and the hosting community
will upgrade/provide php5 serving to sell products an services on that
platform.

(Sorry, Paul. Meant to send this to the list, not you directly. ;-) )

Off-topic question...

I have a VM with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed, and the default is PHP
5.1.2. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Canonical decided not to
compile in the PDO extension. Have they fixed this oversight in 6.10?

Thanks,
Ryan
