You mean that they think that it doesn't make sense to fix PHP in cases 
where it's totally broken?  I think that's totally irresponsible 
behavior. Thousands of people still use PHP 4 for good reasons. If you 
look correctly through the bug database you'll find atleast 10 bugs 
related to strange segfaults and some have been confirmed to be related 
to references that crash PHP.

I think we should definitely put this in a PHP release, although the 
patch doesn't fix all segfaults yet.
