I think both for Zend 2 and for the cleanup version of PHP (if they happen
at the same time or not) it is important to come up with how to do the
development. We can either work in a branch or create a new CVS tree.
They both have their pros & cons, but especially for the PHP CVS which is a
moving target it's going to be hard to make a cleanup and keep the patches
in sync with the "being cleaned" version. It'll be easier for Zend because
it is very stable and doesn't change very much.
Any ideas?
