Lester, hi,

There haven't been for the last couple of weeks. We're just waiting for 
Scott to finish with the Engine work so that we can commit the rest and make 
PHP core (and the core extensions) be always-on Unicode.

PHP 5.3's our *baby*!!!!

Poor customers. They'll miss all the benefits without the inevitable 
performance loss.

As far as I'm aware there's nothing in PHP 6 that can't be supported from 
PHP 5.2.1 up, but there's plenty in PHP 5.3 that a lot of developers will 
like.
