Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] "Experimental" sockets ext?
From: jason@php.net (Jason Greene)

It is actually very stable, though the vector based functions will most
likely become deprecated. I will have better documentation with examples
finished shortly. Worst case before PHP5 is release.

I am also planning on adding some new features before that time as well 
Users should have no problem using it in a production environment. If
you guys are getting alot of questions about this extension and don't
have time or know the answer, feel free to forward them to me.
