If you are referring to APC as the stable cache, that unfortunately is not entirely correct, it is still relatively easy to crash APC unless some work-arounds are applied. I was speaking to a several people at the conference just yesterday and they were indicating frequent crashes with APC, the work-arounds appear to have solved their issues, but those are not exactly obvious. > The discussion now is if we delay 5.5 to spend the time pulling it in core. > But either way (in core or not), ZO+ is open and working on 5.5 alpha.

Well the question around the delay, is what is the negative consequence of the delay, versus the advantage of having a built-in opcode cache shipped as part of 5.5 which is likely to give many people an impetuous to upgrade from their current 5.2/5.3 install.
