Aren't PECL package version numbers already providing this?

But not everything is in PECL :)

any bundled extensions that are still EXPERIMENTAL should move to PECL anyway IMHO

-1. I think that only extensions whose API is subject to change should be 'banned' from being a part of the standard release. Core extensions, with stable APIs, that just didn't get enough testing (e.g. SOAP, DOM or XSL, at least I think that's the case) can & should stay bundled IMHO.

I knew it, that this will stay in the head of people ;) XSL and DOM are not experimental anymore (as already mentioned in another mail in the infamous "flame" thread yesterday). We forgot to remove the EXPERIMENTAL file in CVS, but did that recently. It was always intented to marked as stable for 5.0.0. There's no API to change anyway, as long as the w3c doesn't change it, at least ;) chregu -- christian stocker | Bitflux GmbH | schoeneggstrasse 5 | ch-8004 zurich phone +41 1 240 56 70 | mobile +41 76 561 88 60 | fax +41 1 240 56 71 http://www.bitflux.ch | chregu@bitflux.ch | gnupg-keyid 0x5CE1DECB
