1) ext/mhash in 5.3. ext/hash has all the functions, so the entire BC break will be that "if (extension_loaded('mhash'))" will need fixing if mhash is removed (answer both) I) enable ext/hash by default II) remove ext/mhash +1 +1
2) deprecate ereg*. ext/ereg is an extension as of PHP 5.3. Since ext/ereg is more or less redundant with ext/preg and is likely to not get much unicode love for PHP 6, the question is if we should mark it with a E_DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3 +1
3) resource constants (choose one) a) Should we deprecate constant resources (mostly used to emulate STDIN and friends) b) Should we instead just throw an E_STRICT c) Document as is c
4) keep ext/phar enabled by default in 5.3? +1
5) keep ext/sqlite3 enabled by default in 5.3? +1
6) enable mysqlnd by default in 5.3? (answer both) I) enable mysqlnd by default II) also enable ext/mysql, mysqli und pdo_mysql by default since there will be no external dependencies in this case +0
8) MFH mcrypt cleanups in HEAD. either the make sense or they dont, so either (choose one) a) revert in HEAD b) MFH to 5.3 Same as stas: If it is needed and good reasons to mfh and a maintainer than +1.
