I see a major problem is this commit. This class was stable and working under PHP4. Making it PHP5 only now will mean that anybody upgrading will break his apps. This should be a Net_URL2.

Not to be a CS dogmatist, but I think Arnaud is correct here. I thought the standard was that major versions after version 1 were to be suffixed with the major version number (with exceptions for clarity, e.g. when DB goes to major version 2 it'll be DBv2 not DB2 so as not to annoy IBMers). I don't have a reference citation, though; maybe the QA guys can point to the actual page that says this. However, if the package is to be under Net_URL2, what's the procedure for getting the new name approved and space allotted for it? Not suggesting that it go up for vote, only that Richard might not be able to release on pearweb under Net_URL2 because the name is not in the system (only Net_URL is).

Net_URL2 will need to be approved by the Group, afaik, which means it won't take long. It's nearly automatic because you only need to apply for the request to be granted. However, it may take a day or so :-) This release needs to be pulled immediately to protect the innocent :-) Klaus
