[PHP-DOC] Runkit Function Status

2008-07-19 Thread Daniel Brown
(Shooting to docs and PECL-dev.)

While doing an overhaul of the user notes, I noticed that many of
the runkit functions are still marked as experimental in the
documentation.  Version 0.7 introduced said functions in 2005, and
they were still available in the last release of 0.9 in mid-2006.

Can someone give a status update on these functions?  Is it safe
to remove the experimental warning from the docs?  Two-plus years
seems to indicate at least a false sense of stability.  ;-P

I've experienced some crashes with runkit, caused by strange code that
should have never worked. Apparently, its test coverage is not that
high. Additionally it has 39 opened bugs, some of which are quite old.
So no, unless it gets some more love first, I wouldn't remove the
experimental flag.

Sounds good.  Thanks!
