trying to write code that works on both platforms, we'll be in new

What happens when the feature lists start diverging, because Zend adds
what it thinks would be useful and Facebook ignores that and adds what
it thinks would be useful? Then we can't use any new features from
either. Or are we sure Facebook is committed to maintaining long-term
compatibility with Zend PHP?

off for now.
Why? People on 32-bit machines can just run Zend PHP.
