Makes sense to me. I'm just not sure if we should still keep 5.2, AFAIK there are no problems upgrading 5.2 -> 5.3 (no big incompatible changes?). So I would leave 5.3 and 5.5, and maybe even drop 5.5 when 5.6 comes out. But I leave the decision to you as I'm not PHP expert. -- Jan Rękorajski | PLD/Linux SysAdm | http://www.pld-linux.org/ baggins<at>mimuw.edu.pl baggins<at>pld-linux.org _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
