Is it possible to also release Zend encoded releases of the Zend
Framework in the future?
This would be an increase in performance and a good promotion for the
Zend optimizer on Zend's side.
I'm wondering why Zend hasn't done this already, if there is a reason
not to I'd be very interested in knowing it.
I'm not an expert on the Zend Optimizer stuff, but I presume it's not
hard for a user of the Zend Optimizer to encode the files himself?
Also would optimisations be specific to PHP version and/or architecture?
If so then encoded distribution becomes impractical.
I'm just guessing with the above, but another major point I'd personally
feel uncomfortable with is the fact that I can't "see" the code I'm
running. One of the main benefits of open source code is that I can
audit (and if necessary tweak) the code to suit my needs.
For example I've currently deployed a slightly modified Zend_Auth as per
the bugs posted in:
http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-4460
Just some idle thoughts....
