See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45613 for example. Who would have thought that there are multithreaded web-servers, eh? I'm going to disable ext/phar before alpha2. You've been warned.
Are you saying that you are going to disable every extension having bugs? That sounds weird, besides that only the RMs has the last word on that.
No, I said I'm going to disable new extension that is known to cause obscure problems in the past and that still does cause them at present, and that was (mistakenly) enabled by default right after its creation. And I feel it's now or never, since after alpha2 we'll hear "oh, it's too late to disable it, users now expect it to be enabled". At least that's quite expected after seeing "we enabled it just for alpha" (ha-ha! why don't you enable everything in alpha releases then?). -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
