What I do not understand is why don't these patches get put instantly
back into the core PHP distribution? So patches against 5.2.3 perhaps
would be in 5.2.4, etc?
IMHO there shouldn't be a hardened PHP project. Their patches should
be put in whenever possible, perhaps during an RCx before a gold build
or something. Any loss of functionality due to them should be a
configuration option to turn on/off but otherwise everyone would
benefit from security, memory leak, and other patches...
