Subject: Include XDebug and Suhosin Patch in Core for 5.5

Hey all,

Based off of the recent discussion around pulling in ZO+ into core, I've
come to the conclusion that we should also pull in XDebug and Suhosin into
core at the same time.

1. It has integration issues with ZO+ in that it has to be included in a
specific order (specifically around ini declarations). If it was included
into core, this could be accounted for allowing for more robust behavior.

2. Both to be maintained for each new language feature as well as
opcode-caches. This will have the same benefit as integrating ZO+, as it
can be maintained inline with the engine.

3. Both stand as a barrier to adoption as many will not run PHP in
development without XDebug, and they won't run it in production without the
Suhosin patch.

Since both of these are vital to PHP's uptake and adoption of new versions,
I feel it's important to delay 5.5 until we can get both in. I can draft up
the RFC if necessary...

Anthony
