Hi
1. Remove register_globals completely 2. Remove magic_quotes_* 3. Add input filter extension which will include a mechanism for application developers to very easily turn it off which would swap the raw GPC arrays back in case the site had it turned on by default. 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. 5. Remove safe_mode and focus on open_basedir 6. Remove some stuff that has been marked deprecated since PHP 3/4 A couple of others that we could consider, but I don't actually think wins us much apart from academic purity (which I have never been all that keen on) are: 7. Make identifiers case-sensitive 8. Remove various function aliases
+1 to all things here. 9. Shared memory storage for variables with transparent access. (superglobal array?) -- Ondrej Ivanic (ondrej@kmit.sk)
