Hi! I was never happy about this particular hack but that said, unless we *know* it is not used widely (and I suspect it is in Japan etc. where we don't have a lot of visibility due to language barrier) we can't really remove it.
Also, I'm not sure why should we remove it. Yes, it's a PITA for the code, but looking at it in another direction, it is only a PITA if people actually turn it on, which means they're using it (otherwise why turn it on?). Deprecating it may be ok provided we actually have some proposal as to what people should do instead. If we have consensus on deprecating it, I don't think it's a problem have it done in 7.0 since it's not a substantial code/feature change and beta period provides ample time for people to scream if it's unacceptable. If there's no consensus yet, I'd go for 7.1. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
