I think this was well put. It seems there is "almost" a consensus that bundling and enabling sqlite by default is a big advantage for PHP

and its

users. I agree that in many cases it will replace fopen() in a much

sexier

and easier manner.

So the only question remains when to bundle it? I would like to see it bundled as soon as possible even in the 4.3.x series. Any thoughts on that? It doesn't belong in 4.3. 4.3 is a release branch. Bug fixes only. I still think we need a 4.x dev branch to start the process of helping users towards the PHP 5 goal by doing things like bundling sqlite and adding some of the non PHP5-specific changes and features that they will come to rely on when they get to 5.

-1 from me. We need everyone to concentrate on 5 if we want it to happen on time. With a beta coming out in less than a week, we shouldn't be splitting our power. Zeev
