Well, as you know some developers do not really care about PHP 6 and 
just leave it lying around without the proper merged from stuff that are 
put in PHP_5_2 at the moment. IMO this is just another attempt to stall 
PHP 6 developed (and adoption). 

I would be against merging those two things back to PHP_5_2. There is no 
compelling reason to do so.

However, something that *is* a good reason is some lower level engine 
stuff that people will actually benefit from.
