#3 doesn't belong in a general roadmap. What does fit in, that also covers #3, is having all extensions moved out to pecl, and a build/release system that can build distribution packages based on the last stable release of extensions in pecl.Roadmap:1. Switch to ZE2 by default 2. Establish PECL CA authority and binary package/release process (particularly important for win32) 3. Bundle PHP-Soap (and stop the "bleeding of PHP users") 3a. Collect underpants 4. ? 5. Profit
With that (for example only), different distribution packages can be built when php releases occure, such as 'php core' which would contain the 'most important' stable extensions, 'php stable' which would contain all stable extensions, and 'php bleeding' which could be a package with the latest development snapshot at time of release.
With this also extensions now can take on a life of their own, releasing at different times than php, and visaverse. I think this would make releasing new versions of php much more manageable.
