Hmm, str_replace() is a lot faster than preg_replace() and if using str_replace() really fixes the bug, it should be the default imo. > > Now, for the reminder: I received two +1's to commit my fork as a > > replacement for the current HTML_Template_IT and three +1's to commit it > > as a new package.

For me 'forking' IT currently means that we will have a "mega-bugfixing-diff", which will somehow replace the current IT, but no second IT package.

You are right that creating a new package is a bad solution. But honestly, breaking BC in IT in order to fix some long-standing bugs sounds like a good solution for me. Actually I have the impression that the situation concerning IT is a bit peculiar at the moment and it really seems to be in the need of some bugfixes. > There will be no other way to go.
