Hi!

Thanks for organizing the things!


NP ;-) Btw the detailed breakdown of the votes is available here http://bb.prohost.org/53Features.pdf


What we do wih "low score" ones? I think it's good to note that -1 and +1 isn't the same as two 0's...
Will the TODO be on http://oss.backendmedia.com/PhP53?


Given that the low score items is fairly well separated from the ones that got a significant score, I think due to lack of interest or consensus we should shelve them at least for the time being. 5.3 is not the last PHP release, and there will definitely be chances in the future to revisit the points.



For the most part it seems that there is a general consensus on the features to go into PHP 5.3, my suggestion is that all features with >10 points are to be put into the 5.3 TODO and the rest can have another change for PHP 6 and/or PHP 5.4 (if that comes to pass). Either way, there definitely appears to be a set a solid reasons to start the 5.3 branch.


Will there be also 5.2.5? From the feature set looks like 5.3 is going to take some time and in the meantime we have bugfixes, etc. - so it makes sense to me.


The "agenda" for 5.3 looks to be fairly busy, and I don't think we can wait 6-7 months between releases, so 5.2.X branch will need to be maintained while 5.3 is being made ready for production.
