The problem is when people like Pierre run around and tell in public that people have only more
problems due to Suhosin, that he is happy that distributions kick it. He also tells everybody that
he sees no need in any of the Suhosin features and is VERY VOCAL about it. Nevertheless PHP 5.3.9
introduced a vulnerability because PHP.net cloned one of those "we see no need for any
features" features.
Also Pierre runs around every time I mention that Suhosin is not bitten by a bug and accuses me of
blatant advertisement or he just downplays the fact that Suhosin users were relatively save from the
critical major vulnerability in PHP 5.3.9.
He is actively lobbying against Suhosin and spreading FUD. That is pretty much like fighting it like
cancer.

Please read the email form Pierre: I see no sense in other features of Suhosin. Write some RFC to
convince us to include them.
And BTW you cannot play the: It is Pierre you know him card. The PHP developers are free to step up
and say publicly that Pierre's view is not that of the developers. But you choose to not to do
so. So you are behind him.
