What is wrong with PHP 5.1? People don't *have* to upgrade to the unicode enabled PHP if they don't want to. And it would probably be "nice" to have that mode for some users, but should that be over our own back with multiple implementations of everything?
Are you suggesting that people who don't want unicode should stick with 5.1 for perpetuity?
Assuming that 5.1 would be actively maintained and not just for bug fixes, I'd say that is a viable approach. There are plenty of sites that have no use for Unicode as nice as it may be, and much rather retain performance over useless (for them) functionality.

    5.1, 5.2, 5.3..where was it said that 5.1 has to stop at 5.1 ? :)
