Subject: Filter Vote
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

A good deal of time has passed and it seems Derick and Pierre are no  
closer to the consensus about the filter extension and in the  
meantime 5.2 release process is stalling. At this point I think as  
the Release Manager I need make a decision on how to proceed. Before  
I make a decision I'd like to hear some feedback from other  
developers and users of PHP on what they think.

The current options are:

[ ] Indefinitely delay 5.2 release until filter issue can be resolved.
[ ] Remove filter from PHP 5.2 and hope that some near-future release  
will re-introduce it
[ ] Go with what we have right now, and if filter developers want to  
make changes they'll need to do so in a manner backwards compatible  
to the current code.

Personally, I'd prefer to take filter out entirely from the 5.2 tree.
