Bundling a default opcode cache (enabled by default or not) is not a small decision and drastically affect the future of PHP. The way it was handled was by far not ideal (last was to edit the RFC during the voting phase without restarting the votes) and I have some doubts about the openness of its future development. > But regardless of that, could somebody maybe point out where the "it may > require a 1-2 month delay" estimation in the RFC comes from? An estimation, which is already not valid anymore. We are off the two months. That's also why the beta1 planed today has been replaced with an alpha instead. > Somewhere > Rasmus said that the integration will not be tight and just a "30 minute > cleanup". I guess that was a bit exaggerated and may take a bit longer, what takes longer is to stabilize it, there is no integration work being done right now, as far as I can tell.

I did not follow the why and how we did a release today but having a beta1 now without o+ would mean that o+ would be 5.5 altogether, not that I would mind it, only a statement. That being said, if o+ would have 2/3 of the votes, I think it is possible to get it stable until 5.5 final, not easy but possible.
