Do we really > need another barrier to upgrade to 5.*? Yeah indeed, now I'll have a heap of a time when my customers want to upgrade to PHP 5.1, I find it a bit odd to have this kind of breakage ... didn't we have similar situation with PEAR::File and the SPL::File ? Which was later renamed to FileObject so both could happily live side by side ? (or is my memory failing me) IMHO this should be rolled back in .1 and only introduced in PHP 6 (on by default) Rasmus mentioned that no PEAR person tested the final RC and all that and thus this issue wasn't found ... Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that change done between the final RC and the official release ? Regards Helgi
