I don't want to see changes (like those you mention later in your
posting) in PHP to attract new users, but more to bind people that
already use PHP, but are about to "outgrow" it.
If you (and others) want PHP to stay at the "BASIC for the Web" level
forever - fine, but spell it out clearly. Otherwise people who are
waiting for PHP to evolve beyond that will become more and more
frustrated.
