The question is more about timing. For one we need to get a feel for how PHP5 behaves in the real world and PHP5 itself needs to stabalize. Unfortunately I have a feeling this will pan out similar to how things did in PHP4, so I would say we should determine for which PHP version we plan to allow stable php5 only releases (note we can surely have php5 only packages before, just not stable). This version is obviously not written in stone and can be changed as we play around with PHP5. I propose to wait for PHP 5.1.0 before we allow stable PHP5 only packages.
I propose 5.0.1. 5.1 is going to add many new features (hopefully namespaces! -- not that anyone has said so) so packages that take advantage of 5.1 features may not be usable w/ PHP 5.0 anyway. Hans
