I've been a PHP fan for years and endured the patchy OO implementation and the limitations that has come with the language for the simplicity. Unfortunately I don't have time to wait for years even if many of you guys do. If I did I wouldn't have bothered writing the RFC or writing in this mailing list. You guys should look into this new rapid release cycle thing. It's the next iteration of software development.
The fast development root does seem to have been a little screwed up recently, but if there is nothing in an extension that requires direct access to the core and that extension CAN simply be enabled as required, then pecl is the way to go? We do need the pecl area to be properly included in the build process with windows builds being created just as they used to be, but the process is working fine for APC and perhaps the plan should be to moving some more extensions that are being worked on between PHP releases into the pecl process? It used to be that many of the extensions I used were managed in pecl ... and I'd be quite happy if they moved back there. There is nothing stopping 'Weak References' being added by those who want them ... but I can't see the point myself when running scripts live.
