sounds terrible

until now i thought "it compiles it works" is the worst attitude
but "i do not know if it compiles" is even worser

so where can the user see if it is "commonly used"?

so why there is no notice that it is no longer maintained
so that possible users see this before it stops to
work like gdchart did for php 5.3

> Release 0.2.0: PHP Version: PHP version 6.0.0 or older
what a bull***t if it not works for 5.3 since a long time
so make a fat deprecated warning or even remove it because
it does not work and is a risk for every one who installs it

bugfixing would be really glad, but if noone cares remove died
code and do not suggest "will work even with php6"
