I also prefer as little as possible to be configurable so that PHP
applications written on one PHP installation will run on all others. I
think configurability should be kept at a minimum. However, changing such
behavior in a mini-version is not obvious. And when you say it's
"blantantly wrong" the way it works today, well maybe it is, but we both
know how many people really got bitten by this "blatantly wrong". Very few...
