1) Backport the namespaces patch for PHP 6

3) Apply the Late Static Binding Patch

5) Implement Sqlite3 support via the ext/sqlite extension (patch is already available)
+1
6) Remove safe_mode, register_globals and magic_quotes
-1
7) Introduce mysqlind library into core and use it as a backend for PDO and mysqli extensions (possibly enabling them by default)
+1 (I assume we will make it easily possible to stick with libmysql if the user so chooses)
8) OpenID enabling patch for OpenSSL and PHP 5
+1
9) Add array_replace[_recursive] functions (patch is already available)
+1 (I agree we have a ton of array methods already, but particularly functions that operate recursively over multi dimensional arrays are best done in C)
10) Split off deprecation from E_STRICT into E_DEPRECATED
+1
14) Link phar extension from PECL into core (possibly enabling it by default)
+1
16) Introduce new php.ini files parser/scanner + CGI/FastCGI? "htaccess" style ini file support
+1
18) Introduce concept of "strict classes" that do not permit dynamic property creation
+1 (I would like this to be even more expanded in that non strict classes would also not be hit with "artificial" fatal errors). regards, Lukas
