Ah yes, but is that because they have actively chosen to use libmysql or is it because our default is libmysql. It is buggier and less robust than mysqlnd at this point, at least in my experience, so who are we helping by leaving libmysql as the default? Forget the failed tests. A new PHP release is about improving the ecosystem. If the folks that maintain libmysql and mysqlnd suggest that mysqlnd is more robust and it is the path forward, why would we resist this? Do we not trust Oracle/MySQL enough to listen to their input? -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
