Guys, could we please take a more realistic look at things? People will convert to PHP 5 when it becomes the stable version and development has shifted completely to it. The simple fact that we don't have the resources to support multiple versions will force this shift. People will submit bug reports or feature requests and end up being told that their bug is fixed in PHP 5. However, if people are happy with PHP 4, don't need support and everything just works, perfect, it is not our job to force anything on anybody. We should not be talking about carrots here, and Thies is not saying "screw you" to you. He wants to help PHP users today. We have a feature that doesn't destabilize anything or slow anything down as far as I can tell, and would be very useful to a whole bunch of users today. If that single point is not more important than anything else, then we are getting completely offtrack here. -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
