Hi! >> It is definitively not OK. I cannot imagine any feature that cannot >> x.y+1, which happens less than a year later. I think we've been through this a number of times and most of the people agree that waiting for the next release cycle (at least a year) for a self-contained minor function or feature addition makes little sense. People add functions because they have need for them now, not years later when they're ready to make a major version upgrade. We're not talking something huge like new syntax or language feature, we're talking about this: > OPCache: Added function opcache_is_script_cached(). Why one should wait for a year or more to be able to check if the script is cached? It makes little sense to me. Adding it to active branch does not hurt anything, so I see no problem with it. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
