Well, then he wouldn't be able to follow PHP development and hence would
develop PDO in a non PHP way. That said it is no wonder I have always been
against these special cases. We are chaos and that takes time. Yet we
decided for ourself to be the open platform where users have direct
influence if they whish to. Given our success I see no reason to change
this.
