These do sound like nonoptimal features of PHP 5.1, but not dealbreaker bugs/absent features that make the Symfony core turn up its nose and refuse to play. (: I am also sympathetic to the observation that we can't all wait on Red Hat, but again... it doesn't really answer my question. Does Symfony 1.2 really depend on PHP 5.2? If so, in what way?
