I think we can clear these questions during the vote phases, as options.
If anyone has an idea how to keep the advantage brought by the
renaming (compile checks, clarity, code correctness) without actually
doing the renaming in extensions, please fire it:)
Is this still being put forward for a PHP5.x build? Surely this along with a tidy up on base modules that support it would be much better used as a base for a new PHP6 plan? Extensions that do not support it can also be left out and we have a clean demarcation.
One thing I would ask is just what 32bit platforms will remain supported. While desktop machines are generally 64bit these days, tablet and mobile devices do still tend to be 32bit. The ITX based systems I'm working with are still 32bit and while they do tend to run as clients to bigger servers, some support their own PHP platform. I already have to support different integer sizes anyway and assuming PHP is 32bit simplifies things but I'm a little unsure how a change to direct support for 64bit might affect that split?
