Well, as you know some developers do not really care about PHP 6 and
just leave it lying around without the proper merged from stuff that are
put in PHP_5_2 at the moment. IMO this is just another attempt to stall
PHP 6 developed (and adoption).
I would be against merging those two things back to PHP_5_2. There is no
compelling reason to do so.
However, something that *is* a good reason is some lower level engine
stuff that people will actually benefit from.
