LKS>>furthermore are you aware that there are several fixes that are also 
LKS>>not applied to 5.0.x (atleast I know for sure that several streams 
LKS>>fixes fall into this category). I really dont see the point in doing 
LKS>>more 5.0.x releases if they dont fix countless bugs that are marked 
LKS>>as "fixed in CVS".

I think developers which fix bugs should use their common sense to see if 
the bug is important enough. I understand that if there would be 5.0 
release, it would be a bugfix release. So if the fix is about "this 
function misses this functionality" or "this function doesn't work in this 
borderline condition" - it's OK not to have it in 5.0 branch. But if the 
fix is for "serializing drops dead on any big-endian 64-bit platform" - 
this is a good candidate for the branch, since if someone would want to 
run PHP on 64-bit, he'd at least have a chance. And I don't think "go to 
5.1" advice qualifies, as we don't even have single 5.1 release, let alone 
single 5.1 release that is tried by many users, as of now.
