Yeah, I suspect I am as well. I've written a fair bit of code that relies on
the reference mechanism, and possibly code that depends on vars being passed
by value. I'd really rather not find out ..

I am part of the 1%.  The jump from php4 to php5 was really a surprise.  
We run applications onder php4 and these apps just didn't work with 
php5.  Migrating source codes and everything to php5, I attempted, was 
such a mess that I just quit.  So now, what I did was to downgrade php5 
to php4 to have all our sites working.
