Hello internals. I'm actually using proctitle extension and it's very handy because we run like 10+ daemons written in PHP that we manage. Without it we would be lost :) But the actual awareness of the proctitle PECL extension is very low. Also it does not work on windows. I'm all over the idea to add it to the core and that will be better than current proctitle extension. Also I don't see a major effort required to keep this thing up to date. OS'es don't just change how process titles are set overnight, I would imagine that being huge thing to do without a very early notice.
The RFC is superior to proctitle in every way, so i'd say go for it. Although small on the outside, it's actually a huge thing and will allow to actually start building some serious stuff without using some half-baked non-maintained extensions. My 0.02$. Arvids.
