This naive reader thinks it should be targeted at 6.0 release, as it seems like pretty major changes to me... There might not be anybody using Hyperwave, and the other extensions you specifically named are probably not actively used since they are broken. But the odds are pretty good that somebody somewhere has legacy code that is still using something that's in your criteria/list, and is going to be affected by "missing" functionality from 5.1 to 5.2 There's also the possibility that moving all that stuff could have unforeseen results -- the kind of bug/issue that takes a long time to detect, much less correct. "You can't change just one thing" I'm agreeing 100% to move it out of core and into PECL! I just think the timing should be on a major release (6.0) and not a minor one (5.x) since the changes to code-base seem rather large and wide-sweeping, even if the functionality and userbase are believed to be negligible. Why tick off that one developer by "removing" functionality in an upgrade, when that's only supposed to happen in a major release? jmho -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
