Do as you wish, but I though PHP4 is still the most widely supported versio=
n
on the web and if you're going to conquer the world you have to think about
those users, who was already conquered. =3D) I mean it is not uncommon
situation when you've asked for a PHP 4 version of extension or problem wit=
h
PHP and you have to compile it from scratch since PHP.NET
<http://PHP.NET>doesn't provide debug version.

It is good you've started PHP 6. Sorry what I didn't participated in
discussion - it seems that it is prerogative of core PHP developers and not
it's users. Even if I'd like to follow the process - it is too blurred
through ML to find a time and filter essentials to analyze. I like ML for
it's archives and chit-chat, but my decision-making framework seems to have
problems with such kind of requirements gathering system. Sorry, feel free
to flight into bright future without me - I'll better to track it from the
ground moving slowly and watching reaction of the web. =3D)

Is there any developers who officially supports PHP 4 branch?

I think I've got the idea. Should. Bye.
