1. Remove register_globals completely
Yes.
2. Remove magic_quotes_*
Yes. Nothing but trouble, this one.
3. Add input filter extension which will include a mechanism for
application developers to very easily turn it off which would swap
the raw GPC arrays back in case the site had it turned on by
default.
Yes.
4. Include an opcode cache by default. A lot of work has gone into
pecl/apc recently, but I am not hung up on which one goes in.
Emphatically yes.
5. Remove safe_mode and focus on open_basedir
Yes.
6. Remove some stuff that has been marked deprecated since PHP 3/4
I don't have an exact list of this, but yes.
A couple of others that we could consider, but I don't actually think
wins us much apart from academic purity (which I have never been all
that keen on) are:
7. Make identifiers case-sensitive
I've already stuck my neck out on this one a couple of times, and
haven't gotten much traction, but sure..
8. Remove various function aliases
Could be nice to clean up.
