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. * Assuming a shared-host environment budget and external factors make 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... -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
