Hey,
I'm wondering about two things:
* When will we finally drop 5.2.x support?
* Can we have isolated components in core that require 5.3?
It's been one and a half years since the PHP guys dropped support for
5.2.x. What's still keeping us from doing so? Would dropping it in 1.20
work? That'll likely be in more then half a year from now, so over 2 years
since PHP dropped support, which seems to be a very reasonable
compatibility timespan (esp if you consider 5.3 will have been available
for 3 years at that point). Personally I have not noticed the need for
5.2.x support in a while. 4 of my 6 last extensions require 5.3, and I only
had a single person complain to me about this (which was over half a year
ago IIRC). So it seems to me that people upgrading their wiki software have
5.3 already or have no problem with upgrading it.
My second question is about isolated utilities in core. With isolated I
mean that although they might be using core, core does not use them. Can we
at this point introduce such utilities that require 5.3, assuming there is
good reason to have these utilities and that they cannot be made to work
(sanely) with 5.2.x?
Cheers
