Hi
There was a thread in April 2012 about removing ext/imap since
c-client is dead and has been for a while.
It has been longer while now, and distros like RHEL-7 have dropped the
extension completely.
We can't pretend anymore that ext/imap is a _core_ functionality of
PHP that everyone writing webapps needs. It needs to be removed :)
Ferenc, David; What exactly is the procedure for doing that,
considering 5.6 has shipped its first alpha?
Remove it from master only, or killing it from 5.6 OK?
