Hi!
Agreed. Trying to push people to upgrade to 5.3 will be a colossal waste of time. Remember the pushes for PHP5 and to get people to drop PHP4?
None of that frustration was around MediaWiki development - we dropped PHP4 swiftly, and I guess only Jeffrey Merkey complained. ;-)
I was speaking generally, not about MediaWiki.
If MediaWiki is better on newer PHP, we should use newer PHP.
It's "better" in that it's the active release branch and is supported. Although I'm less convinced that's the drive behind some people to want 5.3...I'm sure we'll get a ton of anonymous functions and LSB once the version's bumped. I can't wait ;-)
