It can't possibly be an absolute rule. If you take it completely literally then we wouldn't be able to fix bugs either. Every change has some effect that may or may not affect users. I know we are mostly geeks here and geeks love structure and rules without exceptions to fall back on so they don't have to think so much and can end arguments simply by pointing at a set of hard rules everyone follows. But this really doesn't work that well in the real world. The real world isn't binary. It is a complicated analog world with many many levels of gray between right and wrong, between minor and major BC break and between peoples' expectations and their personal uses of PHP. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
