4. Include an opcode cache by default. A lot of work has gone into pecl/apc recently, but I am not hung up on which one goes in.Emphatically yes.
5. Remove safe_mode and focus on open_basedirYes.
6. Remove some stuff that has been marked deprecated since PHP 3/4I don't have an exact list of this, but yes.

8. Remove various function aliasesCould be nice to clean up. -Andrei
