What about to have an "abandoned code" section somewhere on the web, so that the code is not lost but its not either in cvs / distribution packages. If somebody wants to use it, just downloads the diff which was created at the moment of dropping the support. If the src after the application won't compile, the user has to hack the code on its own and possibly post-back a new diff to share with others. A clear statement about the not-supported-by-phpdevs should be present on that abandoned code page. However it's questionable how many times will be those diffs reused. I can speak only for myself, when some gentoo-devs removed certain patches and I still wanted to use them.. only that they were nowhere to be found, not even on google. For this single issue try to offer the diff from removal to the maintainers of milter, maybe they can keep it for the future reuse. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
