What does 5.3 break? Because you application is not well designed and you have troubles you want a incomaptible change to break other applications? Our core project has 250.000 LOC and get it running with 5.3 needed only 6 changes to get aways some warnings 122 production installations with error_reporting E_ALL including E_STRICT If 5.3 breaks things that you would like to call it 6.0 think about your code as some other projects should do which are writing thousands of warnings in dhe log with E_STRICT, E_DEPRECATED, E_ALL > I have pointed out why it's confusing which apparently noone read > and have pointed out that there is an equivalent replacement which > again noone read because someone asked whether I want to remove > call_user_func too which is the very alternative I have pointed out. Does not matter If you will remove everything that can confuse anybody you have to remove nearly all things which are powerful but this is a bad idea because you will every time have a user with missing skills which is confused > I have refrained from writing to this mailing list for years.

It is not "the list" if you get a personally answer for breandead wishes they have only the reason to break others projects because yours is broken with 5.3 and you will see die other ones too
