This is the first argument for PHP 4.3.0 I can agree with. You're right, I
don't need an OS X - Version but I see that it is useful to a lot of people.

I don't _need_ a 4.2.3. I need a bug-free PHP version. 4.3.0 will bring a
lot of new features, so everything will start from the beginning again. New
features = new bugs.

I guess this mostly comes from a not existing click-and-be-happy-System.
During 4.1 and 4.2 QA-process there were some test-cases; Everyone had to
write tools for these test-cases by himself. I don't think most PHP
professionals have the time to do this. Maybe this can be covered by
http://nohn.net/lalafarm/php4-test.zip. It not that normale test-thing like
run-tests.php, where the developers write their own test-cases (that system
will never work). QA-staff or normal users have to write small and easy to
understand test-snippets...

Some are, some are not.

Of course it can be.

I don't think, I have enought knowledge of C to do this.
