I understand your thoughts. How about if we do for mcrypt what we did for mhash, I.e. implement a compatible layer on top of openssl? I have not checked if it's even possible yet, just an idea that popped into mind. I would be willing to do this to learn more about the openssl innards, so I'd probably need someone else to verify my work. > > - ext/pdo_dblib: ODBC is almost always the better way of interfacing > with SQL Server, but I don't think keeping this one around is doing > anyone much harm (as opposed to ext/mssql, which we should kill with > fire for the same reasons as ext/mysql). > > Abstentions: > > - sapi/apache2filter: I wonder if someone would step up for that one > if we advertised more widely, given I believe that it is in actual > use.

It's been here before Apache2handler, bit my guess is, just because filters were new and cool. > - sapi/milter: I'm at least passingly familiar with almost all of the > Web servers in the list, but I know nothing about the environments > this SAPI is used in.
