I was hacking away at the Compiler backend for Template the other day, and it became clear that there is alot more work in refactoring the Flexy code (let alone looking at the Block Backend) Considering this may take many months before it delivers anything more than what Savant currently is, what are your thoughts on making Template a PHP5 only package?.

I think is a great idea. I tried (as an experiment) to port Savant to PHP 5 E_STRICT and It was not as complex at all. I am all for a PHP 5 only template and many users will certainly benefit from it. Beside, I think that smarty and other template engines will be ported very late to PHP 5 (if anytime) so it would certainly be something new. Cheers David Costa
