Overall I would say, while painful I do not really see the point in
investing development resources into keeping ereg alive, since its just
a duplication of efforts. Then again I have avoided ereg since PHP4
days. The ereg userbase will be the determining factor if ereg makes the
jump to PHP6 I guess ..

Should it be deprecated then? Adding notes in the manual right now
should buy some time to get users to switch to preg. Personnaly, like
you Lukas, I haven't use ereg for years in favor of pcre.

Good point. So if the decision is indeed to deprecate ereg, its time to mark it deprecated. And while we are at it .. lets introduce E_DEPRECATED as well :)
