I for one am not qualified as I don't have a solid understanding of C nor the build system. Further more - QA of two releases is not a good idea, so the whole thing should be done in an acceptable timeframe, so that it doesn't delay 4.3 release too much. Maybe we could sweet-talk Stig into it ? :-) Or Zeev as he's on the same bandwagon. [...] > > That - and nobody else has the time to coordinate the effort, > > while Derick is on vacation.

Well - and that's my own problem with not releasing 4.2.3 also. There's a new build system and while tests are on-going, the real bugs will show in the first release and hopefully during QA. Then there are some new extensions, re-work of the whole PEAR structure, introduction of PECL. It's a whole lot of new stuff that didn't have any production experience apart from a few dedicated people - and as you mention, with a bunch of bugs in 4.2.x that disturb basic operations or required functionality for an extension, I'm also in favour of a 4.2.3 release, but as I said - it boils down to: who steps up to the plate to coordinate the effort?
