    The lack of consistency regarding branch handling caused a
    lot of confusion in the developer base.  Especially for those
    whose main project is not PHP.

    With a rigid mantra "Work on PHP X? Use PHP_X" this becomes
    much easier to follow.

    Currently, that would mean selecting a branch and magically
    choosing the correct Zend Engine.

    I would _love_ to see the latter fixed.  This however would
    require merging of the two CVS histories which is not that
    easy, to say the least.

    To be specific, I would like to see

    php-src-ze1 -d php-src php-src &Zend &TSRM
    php-src-ze2 -d php-src php-src &ze2-dir &TSRM

    being folded into one, with ZendEngine2 completely removed.
