That's exactly why we need the toggle. We don't want to encourage people to stay with an older version. We have enough trouble getting people from 4 to 5 today, why build in an automatic excuse for people to stay with 5 when all development moves to 6? If all their PHP 5-based code works flawlessly in PHP 6, the adoption of PHP 6 will be quicker. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
