How on earth can you say that? Derick has received an _throphy_ for spending his spare time on the painful process of managing PHP releases, he knows what he is talking about, and it is not a selfish opinion. Maintenance overhead hurts PHP. And our maint.overhead curve is going up. We should strive to _reduce_ that overhead, not increase it. That way php-dev will be more productive and give even the our users what they really need: a (continously) solid product. - Stig
