Remember people, there are millions of users out there who don't appreciate us at all for every downwards-compatibility break that we make, and for a good reason. Hmm..I haven't seen millions of emails about ANY downwards-compatibility break. I haven't seen ANY emails about them. So where do they send them? If you tell in e.g. NEWS file "This version will break this and that" why would anyone get pissed? They had been warned. Let them use the old versions then.

I think what you are missing is that most PHP users aren't php-dev guys who dive into every little change in the NEWS file. I think many people expect to download a new minor version which includes additions & fixes. In my opinion only bigger version number changes make people actually look closer as to what has changed. People here often forget that they aren't the average PHP user but the very advanced ones. Andi
