Critical bugs: Bugs that deal with malfuctions in mainstream (either

                minor or major). Mainstream modules are IMO: session,

                oci8, pcre, pdf, pgsql, standard :), xml and xslt

                Security related bugs in every extension

                Crash bugs in the mainstream extensions, or crash bugs
                that tend to happen a lot in non-mainstream extensions (ie
                if enabling an extension crashes PHP).

Forgot to mention about _very_ serious session module bugs. It crashes easily, session var can be read only, it easily results in inconsistent state with register_globals=On, etc.... Without my patch, there are sevral additional crash bugs under normal usage. I wouldn't start working to fix them without my patch or equivalent patch applied. I think we need more time to fix session module problems. BTW, I don't mind release 4.2.0 without fixing isset() bug. It's nasty, but it has been there long enough :) -- Yasuo Ohgaki
