Its not really duplicating anyting in open_basedir. As a metter of fact it
is meant to be used together with open_basedir for best results.

ISP and people doin mass hosting would mainly benefit from that patch.

For example if I had all my domains hosted in /home then setting /home in
open_basedir will not let customers get out of /home,
but they would still be able to read each others documents.
php scripts in /home/domain1.com could still read files located in
/home/domain2.com , so in other words setting
open_basedir = /home
wont prevent users locate inside /home from snooping on each others data.

thats the main reason why I wrote that patch.

As for "No new features are being accepted into the 4.3.X tree" I can
create a patch for testing for any other php tree if needed.

Cheers,
Boulat.
