On one side there's a clear BC break which, according to the related RFC, is to be considered as a blocker, on the other one, a strong and valid argument regarding spreading additional server variables. I'm not sure being late in the release process is truely a valid argument for accepting a BC break. Can't we make some compromise here like making all date/time classes/functions work uniformly with ints and floats? Working with date/time features based on $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] is certainly not something fancy! Patrick
