I had better and safer solutions, you ignored my initial proposal to do not touch the current code base and use ext/date with pecl/date. You even moved your code to ext/date and replace all current implementation, blocking any valid alternative. Again and for the record in this thread, I told you and here many times, the only safe way is to develop the new features in a separate code base (ext/date was planned to be used for this exact purpose before you decided to move your code there). A separate code base is the only way to keep user codes working. Whether user codes were good or bad is not relevant as they worked and there was not valid alternative in the PHP releases. As a side note, you should ban STFU, whining, and other related words from your vocabulary, at least in the next 20 years. They do not have their places here, not the way and where you use them.
