3.) Why this late discussion of the issue? The name of the sapi/cgi
binary was changed months ago!
I did not choose to raise the issue at this time, but I agree completely with the opinion that it's a bad thing; It is my fault that I haven't raised it a few months ago when I noticed this change, but as you might have noticed, I wasn't involved at php-dev back then. But either way, the fact that it was changed months ago is meaningless. It never made it to a release, and it shouldn't make it to a release, and that's the important thing in my opinion.

I on the other hand do recall complaining about this issue, into the typical php-dev vacume. My strong suggestion at the time was to move things back to one binary, which i still beleive is the best solution, exactly for the ease of use issues that Zeev brings up.
