True but aren't some changes in 6.0 at least (and possibly 5.3) going to require code changes? Or is it still going to be "legacy enough" ? There's gotta be a time in the natural evolution to "cut the cord" so to speak - Python just launched 3.0 and dropped backwards compatibility. Why can't PHP do the same in 6.0? :) (Or 5.3 for all I care. But it really should align with a major revision #) > Just FYI: Not sure which blog you are talking about, but that is Stefan > Esser's blog that is linked above. Sorry, used to most people pushing their own blog links :)
