I don't think this is fair because some things were left out "because there would be a beta 2 anyway".
Needless to say I don't think that the beta was extremely premature but quite the contrary, and I think that the ideas that were left for beta 2 will be reviewed again before beta 2 (there weren't too many of them, and I think all of them were in Andi's sub-list of Marcus' list, that I find quite reasonable). It doesn't mean that all of them will make it into PHP 5, since I consider the time-frame to be pretty important, especially considering how much time we lost with this project, and how many people are waiting for it. It doesn't come to say that all of them will make it into PHP at all, by the way - some of them are open questions...
