We can use features from both, using function_exists(), like what we do now with PHP modules. If you compile PHP with no zlib, you can't compress anything, but the rest of MediaWiki still works. In the future we may use HipHop's parallel execution features. If you don't have HipHop, the work will be done in serial. I quandaries will be very rare. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
