If you could explain to me why holding back a useful feature that could
help a lot of users today is somehow better for these users, then you
might be able to convince me. Is it because by holding it back now we can
force a portion of users who are desperate for this feature to upgrade to
PHP 5 before they might otherwise be ready to do so? This doesn't sound
like a service to these users.
