    There is nothing funny about that statement.  For example, if
    you are not going to do the work on merging the CLI/CGI code,
    just saying that you would like to see that happening has
    little to no effect.  Conclusively, there is simply too
    much noise on the php-dev list by people who are not going to
    do any work, but somehow think they are entitled to actually
    waste other people's time with their opinions.

I disagree. For instance, if I helped writing the combined module, and someone separated it without thoroughly making sure that everyone is ok with this separation, I believe it's upto him to be responsible to merge it back in. What you suggest is that PHP will really be f(t), as people's resources change with time. I do not agree. If you don't want to see your time wasted, nobody's forcing you to read this list. Zeev
