Out of curiosity: Do you think disabling the stat cache could be =
harmful?
If no, why make it an option?
If yes, should we be allowing it?

Follow-up question: What would be the default?
Cache off which might be harmful to some (assumedly bigger) sites?
Cache on which won't fix the bug reports?

If you put the burden on the bigger PHP users by making it default to =
off you're assuming they have more rigorous update procedures, I guess. =
Probably true, just make sure that it is mentioned prominently enough in =
UPGRADING.

Ok, I've said my piece :-)
