This only works if manage to keep the time between "new code is committed to trunk" and "new code is released" under a year. Otherwise developers get frustrated. If we manage to release a PHP 5.X.0 release every year, we are a lot more predictable. Which is good for downstream as well. -- Sebastian Bergmann Co-Founder and Principal Consultant http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://thePHP.cc/
