I'm cool with a "competing" System_Socket package, but I also think there's value in calling this new code Net_Socket2 and superceding the "stale" Net_Socket(1) code base. That way, we get a new, maintained Net_Socket package, and we don't have two competing socket packages (the existing, but unsupported Net_Socket package and the new, maintained System_Socket package). -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
