To be honest I think we should remove it from everything. I know it requires practically zero work to maintain, but the longer it sits around the more people will be encouraged to stick with PHP4 and not move on. PHP in general has faced this for years. While the world has moved on to 5 now, there are some lingering hosts who refuse to upgrade, and keeping PHP4 products around keeps them from seeing the need to upgrade. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
