IMHO, this sounds like its best for everyone, *especially* the
end users of midgard and php.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0.5 Release & Midgard Problems
> Sorry to bring this up yet again but before we release 4.0.5 this needs to
> be sorted otherwise nothing will ever happen. We have just reached 4.0.5RC4
> (which was the final planned RC) and we find that the midgard folks need to
> fix some bugs with the build process.
>
> This will undoubtedly happen again and again ad midgard and PHP work on
> different release cycles and is by no means the fault of the midgard people
> but it just isn't practical if we are trying to release stable versions of
> PHP and midgard is still undergoing heavy development.
>
> Sascha complains about the stability of PHP and all of our patch levels yet
> Rasmus wants to include these extensions that are applications in their own
> right, it just isn't practical for the QA team to test something the size of
> midgard and thus it doesn't get tested (unless the midgard folks test it
> which we have to presume doesn't happen as we get no feedback from them), we
> then risk getting to a point like this where we are about to release PHP
> 4.0.5 and it either 1) has to be delayed with another release cycle 2) has
> to continue with a broken midgarad, neither are great but for the QA team
> its very annoying when midgard, somewhat of an outside extension means we
> have to do a whole new cycle.

> I propose that we remove midgard from the PHP CVS into a separate PEARC
> module before the release of 4.0.5 so that midgard is never been included in
> a PHP release. It will give some incentive to get the PEARC system running
> sooner too. If nobody objects to this strongly I propose we do this in 24-48
> hours and then release 4.0.5 which has been dragging on for a while now.
