Original author was intended to provide alternative to mbstring. In contrast, my RFC is intended to replace mbstring by mbstring-ng. There are technical difficulties to copy all of mbstring feature to mbstring-ng, we may evaluate them and decide migration procedure when mbstring-ng is ready. Choices would be - provide mbstring-ng as alternative of mbstring - keep mbstring-ng in php-src, move mbstring to PECL - keep both mbstring-ng and mbstring in php-src - replace mbstring by mbstring-ng and move mbstring to PECL as mbstring-legacy. I'm not sure which one is the best. We may try to find out by providing mbstring-ng as EXPERIMENTAL module. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
