Deprecate in 6, remove in 7 might be a better strategy... Otherwise you'll hear: "Oh, I can't move to 6, it doesn't have autoload" And for those of us who never use autoload OR SPL, could you please not force SPL into core? If I need SPL autoload thingie, I'll put it in there. I don't need it.

Many people need it, anyone doing any *real* OOP will need to use SPL. If you don't use that *SPL autload thingie - which is spl_autoload_register, how can you know you'll need it ? If you haven't used it, you don't know how good it can be. I could explain the benefits of SPL but there's already a list/thread that has gone on and on and on and a bunch of people that have made their choice already so I will not comment here. If you want to do functional programming then go ahead, if you want to do OOP, then do real OOP, not sub-oop or some php4-oop.
