Ok, so its already an extension in PHP 5.3, that does not mean that we  
have scheduled its removal in PHP 6. Personally I am fine with  
removing ereg, but then again I have always refrained from using ereg.  
Its going to be a bit of a pain, but IIRC ereg is not going to play  
well in our brave new unicode world unless someone does considerable  
work on ereg ..
