Because, after all, it's no problem to keep a dozen PHP versions around, and to select which one you want via a shebang at the top of the file... oh wait. So how do you cope with breakage? Massive code churn? What about those big PHP applications/engines/frameworks like MediaWiki, WordPress, etc - do they maintain multiple versions that are compatible with different PHP versions?? No, don't answer any of those questions. We don't need to discuss this in detail. *sigh* ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
