Hello all,

get my head around the reasoning for introducing this change to PHP4
(4.4 branch). I can understand making the change to PHP5, but can

Hi Jani,
Yes, the increase in the middle digit. ;)
Ok, so does this mean that the 4.3.x and 4.4.x branches will now be

Hello again,
Wow, this thread generated more heat than I thought it would, I
basically just wanted to know the reasoning behind making the change to
