I couldn't agree with this more. The vote was very helpful in narrowing the field of debate: Now there's only three things to be discussed and work can start on making ready the majority of 5.3. However, there were a lot of no-votes on those topics due to lack of information and further discussion would lead to a more informed decision. There probably should be a separate round of voting on just those three issues after some discussion. Speaking in particular about the GC :-), I know there hasn't been widespread review of it (only those who have downloaded my working copy from a separate repository) and I certainly don't think everyone who voted on it have actually played around with it. My personal opinion is that it is ready for 5.3 and should be put into 5.3. It is stable, end-users will not be affected unless they want to use it, extension writers should not even be affected, there is no performance degradation and it would help make PHP a much more credible language to use for anything that runs for longer than a web script. I've been bumping the prerequisite macro patch thread for so long to no avail that it's starting to get embarrassing. Could people take another look at it and tell me whether a vote between the two versions of it would now be appropriate?
