I appreciate your position, but the source checked in *IS* compatible with
the latest version of PHP and uses the latest APIs. The only difference is
that rather than delete backward compatibility, #ifdef constructs are used
to choose.

We have been down this road before. There is a reasonable expectation that
extensions may differ subtly from extension to extension. I see no need to
fork my source for 4.0.x and 4.1.x compatibility when it is simple enough to
do with macros and maintain one source file.

What is the problem guys? IMHO It is completely unprofessional to remove
backward compatibility when it is not an absolute requirement. I have been
coding for over 25 years, professionally for 20, so I think I have some
experience at this. Am I the only one that thinks that this is important, or
at least my right to assert as author of the extension?
