IIRC the conclusion was, that Derick tries to make the TZ detection better (which was the only BC problem, AFAIK). And according to him, that's now almost solved (except some weird problems on Windows). He even made a pecl package for updating the TZ data easily should that change. If the TZ detection works reliable, I don't see any reason to revert or postpone Dericks work, the timezone handling of his implementation is so much better than the old one, it's really worth the upgrade for everyone having to deal with different timezones.

Ok, maybe I missed it in the lengthy thread. Contrary to what Derick may have thought from my response, I wasn't trying to reopen the discussion, just to make sure it doesn't linger to death. Zeev
