If not already mentioned: o have a proper bundling system for ext/*, that means: a versioning scheme for extensions and the possibility to use i.e. ext/socket Vx.y with PHP V >= a.b.c (had the problems last year where ext/socket worked with 4.0.1, was broken in 4.0.2-4.0.3 (IIRC) and finally worked again in 4.0.4, so it was not possible to update to 4.0.2 without loosing socket-Support which was needed by some modules of the PHP application) [as proposed on the Q&A panel on last year's PHP conference] If I'm not wrong, this would make it easier to update to new PHP versions and easier to update specific extensions. I'm not sure if it's possible to implement, but this would be a nice feature many people would like to see in PHP5. Björn.
