If it counts for anything, here's my vote on the bits I know/care about:
2) Symlink the intl extension from PECL, but leave it disabled by default
as is the case with all extensions dependent on external libs
+1, I've a feeling this will become important later
3) Apply the Late Static Binding Patch
+1, I'll probably never use it but I can see where others might
5) Implement Sqlite3 support via the ext/sqlite extension (patch is
already available)
+1, assuming this won't kill sqlite2 support (where's the patch?)
6) Remove safe_mode, register_globals and magic_quotes
-1, should be on a major release - but as someone (Stas?) wrote earlier, it
might be a good time to start emitting deprecation warnings
7) Introduce mysqlind library into core and use it as a backend for PDO
and mysqli extensions (possibly enabling them by default)
+1 but nothing by default until stable
8) OpenID enabling patch for OpenSSL and PHP 5
+1, is there even an argument against this?
10) Split off deprecation from E_STRICT into E_DEPRECATED
+1, about time!
14) Link phar extension from PECL into core (possibly enabling it by
default)
+1, I think this could help tremendously with application deployment
15) Merge Matt's ZEND_SIGNED_MULTIPLY_LONG() optimization patch
+1, we all love Matt
16) Introduce new php.ini files parser/scanner + CGI/FastCGI? "htaccess"
style ini file support
0 - very torn over this idea
17) Merge __callStatic patch from PHP 6
+1
18) Introduce concept of "strict classes" that do not permit dynamic
property creation
-1, this whole idea just sounds so weird for PHP.
