> It should be included but marked as experimental.

There is no such think as "experimental mark". We have experimental
"pseudo" release, which is not in widespread use, and we have
stable/testing/unstable. What I am talking, that I don't want to see
php-fpm in stable (which also means testing and unstable) before it gets
release together with php, gets widespread testing by early adopter (not
only on Debian) and get proper security/bug support via php.net.

PHP is complex on itself and has it's load of bug and we have to support
the version which gets to stable. Fixing bug in stable does take a lot
of work, because the policy is "keep the version, just fix the bug".

So I am perfectly happy to add php-fpm when it gets included to 5.4.x.
And I guess we could even think about including the patch after we get
the squeeze out and new release cycle begins, but I would need a second
opinion on that and we would probably need a promise from upstream to
get a proper bug/security support. Supporting new SAPI, which is likely
to be used more and more, is not the same as adding some corner-use
extension.

BTW: If you want always new and shiny PHP version with all the latest
features, you shouldn't be using Debian version anyway. Dotdeb is
carrying php5-fpm. Do not take it as a recommendation to use it (or
discouragement, I just don't have enough info about dotdeb policies.)
