Kris,
By "NEXT" are you referring to 6.0 or 5.6? > Whatever the release after 5.5 is. Be it 5.6, or 6.0, NEXT indicates the next temporal release... > Also, can you add an option for raising E_DEPRECATED in 5.5 then removing > support altogether in 6? > That's already in there. That's what I mean by hard-deprecating it for 5.5... And in either case, removal would happen one release after hard deprecation... Anthony
