From our perspective, you've gone and changed a fundamental data
structure out from under us, in a non-backwards-compatible way, and
broken a whole bunch of working code, for a feature we don't use, and
can't turn off [*]
This is said without rancor nor animosity, but to explain why we (and
many users) are going to have a very high wtf factor with this.

moving to a different host impossible.
I think the PHP core developers frequently forget that there are a LOT
of PHP developers/users out there with severe budget constraints that
just don't have the kinds of resources you are presuming are available
to "solve" the problems being created here...
I can always find a host who will do what I want with enough effort,
but a LOT of users will just give up on PHP 6 and stick with 5 (or 4
even) rather than do that...
