Simply because they depend on 3rd-party things that most of the core devs simply don't use. I have never installed and tested pi3web, Roxen and tried to use PHP as a milter extension, for example. Have you? These are all core sapi modules in PHP 5.3, but they can't be tested in isolation. Just like you need MySQL installed and configured correctly to run the MySQL tests. But MySQL is common and popular, so this is tested all the time. Once again, most developers work on what they need, myself included. We share what we work on, but we don't work on demand on things other people need. If you need something that isn't well-supported or isn't getting much attention, it is your own responsibility to either figure out how to maintain it yourself or find someone you can pay to do it for you. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
