Ah, I thought it was already features frozen since months :)

One "issue" I would like to put in the light again. The internal ZE
2 APIs. One "issue" here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=107367078904900&w=2

The main problem with a too early beta/rc release is we (well you ;) )
have to be sure that the ZE2 apis works the way it should. And not only
from the php side. For the good all php extensions that are not bundled
with the php releases (and I'm not thinking only about pecl :) ).

As a countless opinion, I think 2 weeks is too short to move to a
release candidate stage.
