I've been reading up on:

Great job coming up with a php 5.3 suhosin patch so soon Raphael, thanks
a lot for that.

It would be very to have late static binding (, 20% perfomance boost,
namespaces, closures, etc) in Karmic already.

I think it may even convince some PHP people to give Ubuntu a try, if
they're stuck on < 5.3 versions with their distro of choice.


On the other hand, some things really are a bit different from 5.2:

(sorry for the plug)

..and people may not want to upgrade their webservers to Karmic in fear
of breaking their PHP apps; currently running fine on Jaunty.

Most of the resulting impact can be hidden/minimized by tinkering with
some ini settings (still enable shorttags, hide deprecated messages),
but the quest rises if that's the way to fly. It will only make it
harder for PHPers to upgrade to future version that will totally drop
support for some functions & features.
