PHP in 2003 (leading to PHP 5)

I hope you all had a joyous night last night and that it forms that start of a great New Year! Now, let's get our heads straight on what we are doing for 2003 :) You may remember (especially if you read Derick's Look Back) that I said something about building against ZE2 by default once we released PHP 4.3 [1]. I still think this is a good idea because it will force us to make sure that things are working properly - those extensions that implement classes and manipulate objects need the most attention. Once we have stabilized the combination of 4.4 + ZE2, are there any other *realistic* goals for PHP 5 to fit into slot no. 4 below? Are there any reasons not to switch to ZE2 right away? --Wez. Roadmap: 1. Switch to ZE2 by default 2. Establish PECL CA authority and binary package/release process (particularly important for win32) 3. Bundle PHP-Soap (and stop the "bleeding of PHP users") 3a. Collect underpants 4. ? 5. Profit [1] http://news.php.net/article.php?group=php.dev&article=87097
