The lack of consistency regarding branch handling caused a
lot of confusion in the developer base. Especially for those
whose main project is not PHP.
With a rigid mantra "Work on PHP X? Use PHP_X" this becomes
much easier to follow.

Currently, that would mean selecting a branch and magically
choosing the correct Zend Engine.
I would _love_ to see the latter fixed. This however would
require merging of the two CVS histories which is not that
easy, to say the least.
To be specific, I would like to see
php-src-ze1 -d php-src php-src &Zend &TSRM
php-src-ze2 -d php-src php-src &ze2-dir &TSRM
being folded into one, with ZendEngine2 completely removed.
