I think lagging 6-12 months behind on bug reports would be much worse. If the bug report is incomplete and isn't likely to lead to a resolution I think it is better to let the reporter know sooner rather than later. The fact that we only have 2 or 3 people regularly looking at these and the flow of them is ever increasing doesn't leave us with much choice here. If more people helped out we could spend more time on each one, but until that happens, the quick-bogus is going to continue. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
