Hi!

What are the good reasons for not changing the names?

This was already discussed on the list, so reading the archives would help. But OK, here it goes again:

1. We want the extension to be in 5.2 to 6.x
2. We want PHP source code compatibility between 5.x and 6.x code
3. We want PHP 6 users use class Collator when they need collator, not some weird long name, same with Locale etc. 4. intl extension, unlike many others, do not have one functional module, but multiple ones, related only by underlying library. Thus prefixing all modules with extension name makes as much sense as prefixing all functions using libc or libm with common prefix. Each functional module, of course, does have its own prefix.
