What is wrong with PHP 5.1? People don't *have* to upgrade to the

Are you suggesting that people who don't want unicode should
stick with
5.1 for perpetuity?
Assuming that 5.1 would be actively maintained and not just for bug
fixes, I'd say that is a viable approach. There are plenty of
sites that
have no use for Unicode as nice as it may be, and much rather retain
performance over useless (for them) functionality.
So, you are saying that something like the namespace patch would be
added between 5.1.2 and 5.1.3, for example? That doesn't make much
sense to me.
Perhaps we need a separate version fork for the unicode support. I'm
thinking one of those nifty unicode glyphs. It could be called 'the
language formerly known as PHP'.
