That's exactly what we have now: 5.2, 5.3 and trunk. I think your LTS=20 idea is way too optimistic. I really don't care about porting bug fixes=20 back to 5.2 because it is *four* years old. PHP 5.3 has been out for a=20 year. Right now there are not many API differences, but it *does* cost=20 extra time to maintain. Time we should rather spend on getting new=20 things out. Leave the 5.2 support to the distributions! regards, Derick --=20 http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
