I don't have a particular horse to back in this race, and I realize people are passionate on both sides, but can we please have a polite discussion on this topic? We change the rules all the time to fit the needs of PHP. This may not be one of those times, or this may not be the way to go, but I think the concept of having better support from database companies is one that at least deserves the benefit of a dialog. Clearly, there is an attempt from some people to listen to the vocal feedback on the original PDO CLA proposal and try to come up with an alternative. You may not still like it, which is totally your right, but it's not as if what he's saying is completely tone deaf to what's going on. Furthermore, I think Marcus has contributed enough to PHP that he does not deserve to hear that what would be good for PHP is for him to "go away." PDO opinions aside, I don't think any of us would actually think that would put PHP in a more healthy situation.
