I didn’t want to hijack the Optimizer+ thread so I’m creating a new one,

still using ZTS.
A bit of background. I started the ZTS project (based on initial work by
Shane Caraveo more than a decade ago), and invested countless hours in
pushing it all throughout PHP. So I really hold absolutely no grudge
against it, quite the contrary… However, many years ago, I came to the
conclusion that it was a bit of a lost cause trying to weed out all the
thread safety issues from everywhere – and that a simpler, more elegant
solution exists in the form of FastCGI.
Which brings me to the subject of this mail – why are you using ZTS PHP
instead of single threaded PHP? The reasons not to use it are few but
fairly major – it’s significantly slower than the non-ZTS PHP, and it’s
significantly less robust in the sense that a single bug somewhere can
bring down an entire server (or at least a bunch of many different
threads). What are your reasons to choose it over FastCGI?

Old behavior not easily to be changed.
let it as it be, all of us like to keep on old behavior as it was.
should put banner on php.net, say: do not using ZTS, that's old way.
