Given many discussions on the list about changing stuff in PHP, I'd like to bring everybody's attention to comment by Linus Torvalds in this topic: https://plus.google.com/115250422803614415116/posts/hMT5kW8LKJk It talks about Linux kernel and discussion has next to nothing to do with PHP, but generic point about keeping the interfaces and importance of not serving one use case I think very important for all widely used platforms equally. I think the opinion of the author of one of the most successful platforms in recent history may be interesting to consider. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
