but this wouldn't be any different from any other api/abi bump. furthermore,
in the context of running debian (and by extension ubuntu) servers, you
wouldn't need to do anything if you were only using the pre-packaged modules,
as they'd be compiled with the right options for you, ideally. so you'd just
need to do an "apt-get upgrade", etc. and if you were using other pecl
extensions, i think the command to update that isn't so complicated either :)
