I'm fine with that take on it. If we can get to consensus quickly enough to get a vote closed by the end of July (which, incidentally, allows for a bit past the feature freeze date), then I can get behind it without a additional delay. If we CAN'T close the vote by then, and we're not willing to push the dates out to accommodate, them that's where my 'no' comes from. Last year at this time, a certain new extension rolled right up to the wire and bit beyond and it was a mess. Half the post-branch fixes and API changes didn't even hit the 7.2 branch (without messy cherry-picks) because the committer wasn't paying attention or responding to attempts at communication. Yes, you and Niki are much better plugged in, but other stuff comes up when you leave things for the last minute, and I don't want to see 7.3 have issues as well. -Sara -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
