It seems to me that the only usable method of "ring fencing" core classes for the long term is to use namespaces. However, the namespaces feature is a fairly large one and obviously will not be in 5.1. We can discuss its inclusion in 5.2, should it happen to come out, or in PHP 6, but we need to get out 5.1.1 _now_.

I strikes me that there is a more subtle problem here which goes beyond just renaming Date, since we have had a period where people ARE building their own libraries with their own classes. So while the current niggle is Date, any new core class can potentially cause a problem. Before we have any movement forward, a agreed method of ring fencing core classes has to be sorted out since this was not implemented previously?
