Chris, We're talking about a very specialized piece of software - an opcode cache - nothing more, nothing less. It's not going to do anything beyond implementing the concept of an opcode cache in php - no extra features. Rasmus pointed out correctly that this component has nothing to do with the Optimizer (sans +). It will also not have any special interaction with Zend Guard, beyond perhaps the same mechanisms I mentioned might be useful for debuggers (controlling the order of compile/exec callbacks, already in the RFC). Supporting Zend Guard would be Zend's headache - not php.net's - and wouldn't require any special treatment.
At the end of the day it's supposed to integrate cleanly into php without any negative impact - not on functionality nor compatibility. In terms of what integration would entail - my intent was that integration means that it's on by default. I'll clarify that in the RFC, unless people think we should put that up for discussion..?

I updated the RFC with two extra sections - 'what's an opcode cache', This section extremely general and doesn't explain what the expected feature set might look like. I'm not asking for absolute certainties, just a technical description of what is and isn't the goal. Is it the complete Optimizer+, are there potential cleanups, do you see it being enabled (if not in PECL) or disabled by default, etc. Did I miss seeing the link to the current optimizer+ documentation? http://files.zend.com/help/previous-version/Zend-Server-5-Community-Edition/zendoptimizerplus.html (thanks Rasmus) Your email comment to John Carter about Zend Guard decoder is also not (yet) in the RFC.
