So it's just the name? Sorry, should have been more imaginative with that branch 
name. So what you're proposing is simply matter of renaming stuff. Rename trunk 
to branches/THIS_IS_LOST_CAUSE (or whatever) and PHP_5_4 to trunk. And we're a 
go. I really don't see reason to ditch current PHP_5_3 however, just to keep 
something to release stable stuff from..

The main focus should be that we actually start working. And not wait for 
someone to do something miraculous on their own. I'm just sick and tired of the 
cloak and dagger style and secret meetings and committees. So please, do the 
talking openly on the mailing list, not some IRC channels. And no more wikis. :)
