    James, why did not you discuss this first?  All opensource BSDs
    have been using _one_ source module since their inception.
    In the case of FreeBSD, that dates back to 1993, so this is
    clearly a proven model.

    What do the active developers on this list think?
I am not quite sure how/what broke. However, no matter if what James did was the right or wrong thing to do, I think it should have been discussed first (in detail). A bunch of things are broken. Files are missing in php4 head and the wrong versions of files are also in there. I think we need to roll this change back as soon as possible and take another shot at this in a much more organized manner.
How about making patch from PHP_4_3 to new HEAD and reverse-apply it to HEAD and commit...?
