No, it is not, absolutely not. Please do not hijack again this thread
with this discussion, it is totally off topic.
SAPIs are what makes possible to get PHP works in a shell, apache, fastcgi, etc.
Thanks for your understanding,
Sorry I don't understand why you say this is not the same discussion.
Personally I only use an Apache SAPI but I can quite see that other people want
a bundle with different SAPI's. These are different targets which a single fully
bundled distribution is just excessive. The current pressure is to get even more
things included in an already bloated core bundle, when a sensible debate on a
more targeted distribution model ... such as like the Linux distributions
already break things down to ... makes perfect sense to me.
Exactly the same debate is going on with Eclipse distributions, to simplify
targeted bundles, and make it easier for people to tailor a bundle to their own
requirements ... individual extension/plugins develop with their own version
numbers without impinging on the core engine. Self contained modules such as
individual SAPI's can be develop independently as required, and should not need
to have a debate on whether they should be bundled or not if the distribution
model allows their publication as an installation option?
Returning to the rfc process ... what still seems to be missing is a way of
handling these parallel developments rather than just simply 'throwing them out
for pecl to handle'?
