Hi Hannes, Can you elaborate a bit more on why they would be harmful? We would like to address any concerns you may have. Our binaries (Bitnami / XAMPP) are kept up to date (sometimes within ours of a new release) and we support all versions of PHP, including RC. A lot of users, specially new ones on platforms like OS X and Windows, find pre-built binaries very useful to get up and running
