If these companies really do worry about this %, why don't they
participate in development and/or testing?
I don't recall seeing any contributions or even feedback from
Facebook or alike, do you?
If they wait for a release to test and complain, then I couldn't
care less - it's just a common
development process, bugs come and bugs go, I see no reasons why we
should make an exception for
a company that doesn't give a damn about us.
I realize that this conversation isn't really about Facebook, but
while it's been brought up I'd like to step in and say that Facebook
is *very* interested in helping with PHP development and other open
source projects. We are always trying to run the latest CVS or RC
versions to make sure we don't find any problems or performance
losses (although we do occasionally fall behind which is unfortunate
for us). If there are any new patches that the developers think we
could help test out for performance and stability I'm very happy to
do so.
There have been a handful small contributions to APC, PHP, and
others, and I'm excited that we get to work on these projects and I
hope myself and others at Facebook will be able to continue to make
useful contributions. I'm also grateful for the contributions others
have made here, and I hope Facebook and myself can establish itself
as an entity dedicated to giving back as well. If you have other
questions or suggestions please feel free to email me, I know I've
limited my posts here so as not to add anything unnecessary but we
are here and ready to help.
Thanks,
