Hi,

I do not have karma, but I still think you guys missed one point in
the entire thing.

The end of life cycle of PHP4 is 08-08-08, so people expect one last
release in this day as the last release.
Some of you are telling that release something now contradicts your
master plan, but you missed something.

If you don't release something in 08-08-08, what will people think?
That PHP4 died in 08-01-03.
Why? Because their last touchable release is that one.

You may tell "checkout the source and you'll have 08-08-08", but most
people are not interested in cvs. They are interested in .tar.gz.
So, please, do not think you're contradicting something, because you
aren't. If you don't release the LAST tag in the Olympics begin day,
people will feel frustrated.

I know thousands from userland may think the same. I already work with
PHP5 only, but it's not the case here.


That's just my humble opinion.


Regards,
