Hi!


I'd also like to see us start a slow deprioritization of 5.2 work.
Instead effort should go into making 5.3 the prefered stable branch.
One specific example is that Test Fest 2010 tests shouldn't be merged
to 5.2.


I agree with you on 5.3 in general but I think having more tests in 5.2
wouldn't hurt anybody. If there are people willing to do this work, why
not? It's not the code, so it has no risk, just the reward...



If test festers want to run their 5.3 tests with PHP 5.2 binary then
great!  It might find some compatibility issues and these should be
bugged.  But cleaning up the tests to work with 5.2 is something that
should not be a "must have" requirement for this year's testfest.

I'd prefer their willing work was put into deeper 5.3 & trunk testing.
