My suggestion is to wait until the 15th of January (that's one month
since I started this thread) and that should have been enough time of
everybody.

Regards,

PS: As a side note, since somebody brought it up in the past few days:
It is not really *technical* issue with the engine which variant we
implement, it's simply a design choice. We didn't drop $this support in
closures in 5.3 for technical reasons but for the simple reason that
there was no agreement in sight on *how* to implement it. And since the
current code for closures is a bit of a mess in PHP6 because of the back
and forth due to the numerous discussions, I'll have to touch it again
anyway. (I only cleaned up 5.3 for the release.)
