I'm not necessarily saying I'm opposed to this addition as I think it's great, but I'd like an opportunity to test it out first and play around with it for a few weeks. It's hard to find major problems without a lot of testing and then our biggest problem is always BC. We always find BC to be one of the biggest reasons to hold off on changing stuff. I have looked at the code but in my experience you don't find real bugs until you start testing code you already have working in production on these patches to find the really annoying bugs. > Patrick > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
