I do not have much against this particular proposal, but I have observed the tendency here (on this mailing list) to be something like that: "Since we are breaking one thing, we might just as well let the hell break loose and break everything else, be it necessary or not." Often times the "break early, break hard" principle will not work all that well just because we are not breaking early anymore, and breaking things just to make a cute feature or two work might not be such a good idea. This is just an observation, don't flame me, but this attitude is starting to worry me a bit. I can see 4.2 being so different from 4.0.6 that we might not be able to call it 'php' anymore. Just something to watch out for, so we don't go overboard... Now, have a good day, everyone Vlad -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
