I think we need to think of a forum (possibly dev/qa/advanced mailing lists) which is big enough in order to give it a thorough test run and find lots of bugs. I wouldn't want this to be a complete public front page php.net announcement. There are also lots of stuff other developers have on their agenda for PHP 5 and I think once the most important features of the Engine 2 are ironed out we can afford to split off the PHP tree and do whatever damage needs to be done there. Also I hope that the improved object overloading will open up new ideas and possibilities for php-dev developers.
