Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [VOTE] Move the phpng branch to master
From: danack@basereality.com (Dan Ackroyd)

Hi,

It would be good if people announced that they were going to open
things to vote with a warning, rather than just throwing the voting
open.

The RFC is nowhere complete in it's details for people to make
rational decisions. e.g. the section on 'RFC impact' has this for the
impact on extensions.

"Existing extensions will have to be updated to reflect the new data
structures and updated APIs. Much of this work is already done for
most of the extensions bundled with PHP, but there are still
extensions that need to be ported, and most of the extensions in PECL
will have to be ported."

That doesn't provide anything close to actual information about what
needs to be done to port the extensions. There is no information about
how extensions can support current PHP and PHPNG at the same
time....which they will need to do for the next couple of years at
least.


cheers
Dan
