I don't remember right now why, but = it did, Rasmus tried this already and failed. Search the mailing lists = for more. His commit message is a bit weird, I think it should say "2.6x = is broken in so many ways" rather than 2.13: >=20 > http://svn.php.net/viewvc?view=3Drevision&revision=3D291414 If I remember right, removing the diverts makes the ./configure --help = output no longer pretty. And 2.6x and 2.13 are both broken in their own = lists of ways. Though I thought the use of high-numbered diversions was = actually a supported thing - or was that only in 2.13? -- Gwynne
