From: pierre.php@gmail.com (Pierre Joye)

hi Lester,


Discussing periodically about the introduction of new notices or
warnings in releases is not very fun and interesting. Good habits and
related topics can be discussed on the php general mailing list or any
other support channels.

Thanks for your understanding,
