Are we going to refuse PHP5 only packages? This package uses

I don't know if *we* are going to do this, but *I* am, as long as the package doesn't have any profit from being PHP5-only.

Exceptions for error handling. Better error handling is a good enough reason to go PHP5-only.

I don't think so, personally. The current PHP error handling, while having known limitations and drawbacks, worked great for years and still does.

IMHO we should encourage PHP5 only packages.

Bad idea IMHO, at least at the current point of time. PHP 5 was released today, but it will be weeks or months until you could call it stable for production evironments seriously. And it will take months, and probably a *lot* of months until a majority of ISPs will have switched to PHP 5. Until then no enterprise user or other people depending on a production level environment will be able to use this package. And of course no competing package that only differs by being PHP 4 compatible would be accepted by PEAR. Jan. -- Do you need professional PHP or Horde consulting? http://horde.org/consulting.php
