Quite pointless entries, this thing was never in any release, who cares what happened during development of it? Think f.e. if all changes done for the namespace crap was added in the NEWS.. Short version: Please remove these pointless entries.
That's not correct. There was a release (alpha1) and changes happened between it and the next alpha/RC releases. Theses changes have to be present in the NEWS file. It is the RM to merge them before the first stable release (5.3.0-final).

I don't count alpha/beta/etc. as releases. Release is a stable release. One that people actually download and use in production.. Also those entries didn't really give any useful information to PHP _users_ as the changes were pretty much internal things. Please don't spam NEWS..:) --Jani
