Why not jump over numbers 5 6 and call it PHP 7 ? :) Or do the Microsoft: PHP 2001 (j/k) anyway, this way we can also break a lot of other things and make the language clean. I can't wait.. :-) I'm also in favor of creating a new branch because this way nothing can be messed up on the PHP4 branches and we can do some really experimental things with it too. If the goal is 4.1, branch should be enough. If PHP 5/6/7, then it should be separate cvs module, IMO. btw. To get rid of some of the unmaintained extensions we should have some directory for them? Something like /old /deprecated /unmaintained ? --Jani patches in sync with the being cleaned version. It'll be easier for Zend because it is very stable and doesn't change very much. Any ideas?

Right now we keep the main development on the truck and only branch out the releases. Ideally that's how we should keep doing it, but realistically the timeline for 5.0 is in the distant future, so I'd say let's make a new CVS tree for it -- call it php5.

We can either work in a branch or create a new CVS tree. They both have their pros cons, but especially for the PHP CVS which is a moving target it's going to be hard to make a cleanup and keep the patches in sync with the being cleaned version. It'll be easier for Zend because it is very stable and doesn't change very much. Any ideas?
