People who don't update aren't really relevant for a lifetime discussion. It doesn't really matter if they don't update to 5.6 or if they don't update to 7.0. Especially if they don't even update from 5.3.x to 5.3.(x+n). johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
