These changes cannot be that big. If PHP or the Zend core of PHP were to be used as, say, the procedural language in MySQL, it would be a long running process running multiple interpreter threads, just like in an application server. Well, we will see, how much really needs changes...

I didn't say that it will require big changes. Much like the fact that I can plug the Zend Engine in MySQL doesn't mean that users should start serving their Web pages off stored procedures, the fact you can create a Zend engine based application server doesn't mean that PHP should *become* that application server. It doesn't matter if you'll have to change 2 lines, 500 lines or 10K lines... What matters is what you end up with.
