I think the major problem is that because discussions about it happen off-list, there is not much exposure on what you're doing and thus little feedback. That's the whole problems with splitting off to a different list for something that you're targetting to include in the core. So I don't think it's that strange that there is now a large group of people being not-so-happy about what you're trying to do here. regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
