the problem is BC. given that so many massive changes are scheduled for
what will become 6.0 that will entail BC breakage anyway the core guys seem
to think its a good point to break some more. I think it's sensible,
breaking BC is a dangerous thing to do and not to be taken lightly when you
have a user base as massive as that of php.
in the mean time we have a faster 'execution model' to look forward to
in 5.1 - _faster_ OO code! yippee :-)
