Subject: About PCS (was : Proposing inclusion of PCS in the 7.2 core
 distribution)
From: francois@tekwire.net (=?UTF-8?Q?Fran=c3=a7ois_Laupretre?=)

Hi,

thanks to all for taking the time to think about it and give your opinion.

It seems that we may gather a consensus on the concept, as most of us 
seem to agree about the benefits a mechanism like PCS can bring to the 
core development process in general.

It also appears that PCS is not ready for an official release yet. Among 
others, we need to refine the way PHP code is loaded and registered.

So, here is what I'm proposing :

- Keep enriching the discussion during about 2 weeks. Please give 
examples of core extensions that, in your opinion, are susceptible to be 
partially or fully converted to PHP. Suggestions to complement existing 
core extensions (like an additional curl OO layer) are welcome too. 
Please tell us if a PHP implementation of these features already exists 
somewhere. I would be especially interested by a PHP implementation of 
the PDO generic layer...

- Then, I'll write an RFC summarizing the discussion. The RFC will list 
blocking and non-blocking issues, as well as an indicative timeline. 
Target for an initial release will be 7.3. It should leave enough time 
to solve blocking issues and start converting some existing code to PHP.

- This RFC will then be voted upon. The vote will just ensure we agree 
on the concept and the objectives. It won't authorize the final merge in 
advance. This will be validated by another vote when the implementation 
to release is ready. The objective is to avoid restarting the whole 
discussion when we're ready for a release.

Regards

François
