Hi Lester,

I have no problems with the test side and we have a stable test suite for testing against outside of PHP but many of the 'changes' in the code base ARE generic changes to some core process and trying to mirror them into an unmaintained extension is the problem here. Only people who understand WHY they are making a change which affects every extension really know how to do that.That does make sense: a maintainer needs a combination of knowledge of the PHP/Zend internals, and the third-party library / API the extension is targetting. That's a tough combination to find.
