That sentence worries me a bit. Are you advocating developing new
features in 5.x branches rather then HEAD?
Not at all. I am not sure how you even read that into what I said.
That code has been in HEAD for months, I so no reason not to merge it.
We are in alpha phase for a reason just like this.
All I said was that the fact that it has been in HEAD is no proof that
there are no BC issues or even new bugs in it. Again Johannes asked
for this to be merged long long long ago and nobody reacted. Now we
are at alpha2, hoping to release the last alpha soon. We have plenty
of other big stuff that really wants to make it out of the door.
BTW: we have a similar situation for mcrypt. We have
"cleanups" (though Derick does not define them as such) in HEAD, which
have not been merged to 5.3. I dont like this at all, since either
cleanups make sense or they dont. However the larger the cleanups, the
messier the old code, the trickier it is to get BC just right and the
less I think it makes sense to add such cleanups now.
