Yes, it is. Non trivial things are things that are difficult to find, which require long and thorough testing, such as changes to core API functions or very common modules. Figuring whether the build works or not is trivial.

    That might be true for a single build.  We support dozens of
    platforms and figuring out whether a change breaks something
    on one particular platform is not as simple as you obviously
    assume.

I don't think that there would be a real life situation in which a new module would break a build under one platform, and won't under another platform, without you actually using the module. The author has to be exceptionally 'talented' to achieve that.

    As the Midgard extension recently showed, a single line in an
    extension can break everything else.  And it can easily go
    unnoticed, especially if it is not reviewed by experienced
    people.

Easily unnoticed? I beg to differ.

    Zeev, there is a difference between the terms 'will' and
    'can'.  I've used the latter.

I know, and as I said, I disagree. I don't think it can go unnoticed in the further RC. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> CTO & co-founder, Zend Technologies Ltd. http://www.zend.com/
