You are again doing a major time and planning estimation mistake, which will affect all of us. It is impossible to get php-next ready by next year, simply impossible. Even if all we will have is phpng, we won't make it. And really, I rather prefer to do not any php-next now if your only plans are in phpng. And as of getting stable before merging, I totally agree with Marco and you did too when we were talking about the 64bit RFC, which is by an order of magnitude much smaller and complex than phpng. -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
