If you are proposing it and have time to do it, I think you being the
RM for the Unicode stuff (and whatever version number this is) is
going to be the only way to move the Unicode forward.

As for Lukas idea, I agree having two RMs (or co-RM) elimitates
problems we had in the past.

We need to focus on Unicode more than what some says, whether this
means descoping the Unicode release or not. However, this means that
the development focus needs to be towards new features AND Unicode,
not having the new feature branch, and the siberia branch with Unicode
support.

Anyway, might be useless email, but I'm +1 on Derick's ideas (and +10
on PHP5.2 security patches only. Some people don't even realize PHP
5.3 is out, need to move on now)

Best regards,
Olivier
