Should removal of ext/imap be documented in 5.5 at least? It would be better to keep feature after announce at least few versions. IMHO. For modules, moving them to PECL is a option and users may build modules if they really need them. Therefore, immediate removal would not be a real issue, though. We are better to have deprecation/removal guideline since we have similar discussion over and over. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net --047d7b3431eadc709c04f14de56e--
