It is also good for the PHP ecosystem at large to show we're using libraries, where it makes sense.

With the current architecture I go to search.php's code and can see what's going on. With a framework I have to see how the framework handles the routing and where the relevant controller is and so on and so forth ... this is contrary to other projects under constant development possibly by larger teams and is also different from developing a generic bug tracker (or whatever site you look at) where things need to be configurable for different usage scenarios ... johannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
