Well, I don't see it as loooooooooooooooooooooooooong term support, but rather as way to enable quick feature cycles, so that feature releases can move faster than anybody can upgrade to them (ok, that's a bit too fast the, but hope you get the point), while new features can get in production sooner, where wanted. We could also use the names "feature preview release" and "stable release"(=lts) ... which would bring us close to MySQL's model and their confusing version numbering (MySQL 5.1 is the stable there, then MySQL 5.4 was announced as preview, now MySQL 5.5 is the current preview release, neither 5.4 nor 5.5 are "stable", "GA", though) johanne -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
