Re: PHP 5.6 Process

Hi Inf^Hternals, Debian freeze will happen in 14 months, that means that we might be able to squeeze PHP 5.6 into next Debian stable. One question though – do you envision that the module ABI will change in PHP 5.6? (e.g. are there already plans to do so?) Obviously not changing ABI would make things much more simpler since it won't require the transition. Knowing before hand would also making things simpler since I could get pre-approval from Debian release team.
