Hi,=20

=46rom a userland perspective, there should be absolutely no feature addi=
tion in a =22bugfix=22 version (x.y.Z+1) : we would see (just like what w=
e see today) frameworks, apps, or libraries depending on specific bugfix =
releases, and this would not make php versioning easier to understand for=
 anybody.=20

And for you core devs, this is an open window for bypassing the standard =
versioning process, which could result in long discussions or determining=
 if a feature is a self-containing one or not, and should be released in =
a bugfix version.

Allowing these exceptions would not IMO enhance the release process...

Cheers
