Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] RFC: ext/mysql deprecation
From: devis@lucato.it (Devis Lucato)

Sorry if this was already suggested before: for people stuck on legacy
applications and without money to upgrade (e.g. charities, user
groups) a PECL extension would at least provide a way to survive.
Forcing people to upgrade doesn't sound like an improvement but more
of a way to push people away from the language.  Shouldn't this kind
of "improvements" belong to major releases ?
