As it currently stands from a developer participation standpoint it is not viable. I outlined the issues in a previous post. You also have to take into account that most sites can't actually move to the next release of PHP until APC is stable with it. So effectively the PHP 5.4 release didn't happen until APC 3.1.13 in September 2012 which was a full 6 months after PHP 5.4.0. I don't foresee this getting any better for PHP 5.5. In order for PHP releases to actually mean something this is a problem we have to fix. I honestly don't care which opcode cache implementation we base a core version on, what I care about is developer buy-in. Dmitry and Stas being familiar with the code already outnumbers the number of active core devs working on APC today. I understand some of the skepticism and hurt feelings around this from a few old-timers, but let's move on and see if we can finally push out a release with solid opcode caching right at the release date. From my perspective anything up to a 6-month delay would beat the current situation. -Rasmus
