Dear All,
Again with my 2cents into the basket: I was hoping Ilia Alshanetsky
would also support this idea since in his talks (i.e.
http://ilia.ws/archives/241-IPC-Hidden-Features-of-PHP-Slides.html) he
has been promoting the exact same use: switch the standard serializer
to igBinary...
Also the proposed include it -> read the data -> convert on write if in
previous format (possibly an ini setting?) would provide full BC and
would allow a painless upgrade... wouldnt it?

Actually, I don't think it does. It's one thing to tell people "put this
option into php.ini" and quite another is "download it from PECL (?),
compile it (?!) and install it". The first is wi
thin the limits of any
literate person, the second is sysadmin territory.
All major distros have it already, so it is the same. Now, if it is
not enabled by default, then many admins won't install it, back to the
same problem. It is very unlikely that someone with root or admin
perms won't be able to install an extra extension from the distro
repository or using the DLL on windows.
. easier to support it while being only in pecl ('do you use the core
version or latest pecl?")
It is a concern, if this extension is not stable yet. Is it?
It is stable. But the concern is not about its stability but the ease
of support. Having it in core means than some users may use (for
example) 5.4.2 version while we are at 5.4.6 or pecl has 3 new
versions. Not a big deal, just easier.
That being said, I'm not opposed to include it, I only don't see it as
a must go :)
Cheers,
