Here are (somewhat repeated) the benefits: 1) Karmic conincides better with the availability of 256MB VPS servers, 'cloud'. I performed searches with twitter and google, for users who are trying to install FPM. The demand seems to have gone up significantly over the last 2 month. It seems there is a real demand ramping up for this package. 2) We would loose momentum / harder to pick up again. As packager for FPM I believe there's no further to do on the php5-fpm (so over the next window) it would be a shame to catch the maximum delay, and also have little or no improvement to show for it. 3) Ubuntu can be proud to have the latest / best PHP ahead of other Linux distributions (yet again). This particular PHP is the best best-in-class for effeciency, speed, performance. A good way to think of it is like the difference between the apache and nginx webservers. 4) Genuinely there seems to be a growing and strong demand for fpm (wheras a declining demand for the others like fcgi and apache). 5) From the other side of the coin, we can ride that wave and build momentum (rather than be loosing it) with the legitimate user base. It really makes for a core / essential component to the ubuntu-server distribution. Overall it may be worthwhile to consider prioitizing this package rather than to delay its widespread availability. 6) We expect there to be a continuing demand for a php server solution, many big projects use it. Timelines aside, this demand exists as much for Karmic equally as for any future ubuntu release coming after it. We appreciate that this packaging request comes after the official deadline. Apologies, but here to help these efforts any way we can.
