Dear internals readers, I guess it's right that all of us are quite PHP geek and so i made a pool on a popular french website (http://www.phpfrance.com). I didn't say any word about the wishlist's writer because of Rasmus's charism could have oriented the answer in his direction. I just wrote the facts.
1. Remove register_globals completely
Yes : 86 % No : 13 % (120 votes)
2. Remove magic_quotes_*
Yes : 59 % No : 18 % What are you talking about : 21 % (128 votes)
3. Add input filter extension which will include a mechanism for application developers to very easily turn it off which would swap the raw GPC arrays back in case the site had it turned on by default.
Yes : 95 % No : 4 % (92 votes)
4. Include an opcode cache by default. A lot of work has gone into pecl/apc recently, but I am not hung up on which one goes in.
