Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] changes in ext/mbstring (PHP_4_3)
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

PHP_4_3 is strictly for bug fixes, no major changes code and functionality 
changes should occur to prevent introduction of new bugs into a stable code 
base. As such, as a 4.3.X Release Master I am strongly opposed to this 
change.
