Exactly what I thought. I've the following reasons not to make mbstring
default in PHP 4.2.0 this late in the release process:
1. We're past 4.2.0rc2, and quoteing from the "Release Process Timeline":
03-04-2002 Release Candidate 2
"After RC2 is release only severe and/or critical bugs that
are found in the HEAD branch should be merged"
This neither qualifies as a severe or critical bug.
2. You don't know what will happen on weird platforms (such as MacOSX,
HPUX or IRIX p.e.). It needs testing first
3. A lot of changes where done to this module lately
4. --enable-mbstring isn't that much typing

Derick
