## #37652 — Gregory Beaver — 2008-05-14T16:06:55+00:00

Hi,

I wonder if there is any objection to this plan:

1) enable phar by default for the PHP 5.3 betas, so that it can receive
full testing
2) before RC1, do the formal vote on whether it should be enabled by
default in the release

This way, phar can be tested for the possibility of enabling, but there
is an explicit safety net in place should it need reconsidering.

My assumption here is that there will be a few beta releases and
possibly an alpha release or two prior to the first RC.

Thanks,
Greg

Go for it, we can always change our mind before the vote if something 
comes up.

Make sense, otherwise it wont be tested at all.. +1 although I dont 
think we need phar in the core, but something more useful like pecl_http 
or fileinfo instead.
