Re: Prefixing names of new filter functions with filter_

Ilia, We haven't been "shipping" this extension. RC's are not considered to be shipping, they never have and never should be. How can you think of shipping something when you know you'll need to clutter the symbol table with non-coding standard names which you plan to alias in the next release? I think as release manager if you know you're going to ship something which you need to BC-fix in the next mini release then it shouldn't ship.

Sorry Andi, but you are focusing on the wrong side of the problem. Ilia is again trying to deal with a last minut problem. This problem has been raised __many__ times in the past, on internals, on pecl-dev and in the filter bugs tracker. Nobody has participated. If we don't take the time to actually think about our choices (like saying yes/+1 if we have no clue about what we are talking about), it is not the RM problem. You can blame me if you need a gulty person. Maybe I did not explain these problems correctly during the last 4 months. Sorry for being too verbose, but it is getting ridiculuous. --Pierre
