It is totally on topic!
The REASON I have gained this particular additional customer base is because
they are all having problems with keeping their sites active! I had hoped to be
producing a better set of documentation to help these type of users to cope with
the 'BC compatibility' problems they are currently fighting, but there is
nothing consistent to document. There are as many problems as customers with
several years of legacy code written by different programmers :( THEY are not
programmers ...
I hope that as some point there will be some REAL support for stopping
'developing' PHP5 and move all of the new 'features' being discussed into a nice
cleanly isolated PHP6 development stream. Then we can start documenting what IS
being removed and stop trying to track which legacy feature needs to be
re-worked rather than simply burying heads in sand and hiding them!!!
My current roadmap is based on PHP5.4 servers with nothing hidden and eventually
all of the code will be moved forward to that base, but I simply can't justify
charging some customers for all the time this takes because they HAVE working
sites currently and this is not giving them any return.
