Hello Andi, I don't see why this attack is directed at Zend people working on PHP, where the release process is completely a community driven effort (and last time I checked, no enterprise was involved in that process either). Well I don't see why Zend people commit code that obviously broke a key functionality without testing it. And then Zend people come out under the trees and speak up that our testers are doing bad jobs. It is true that obviously NOONE has tested the code, because otherwise it would have been seen instantly.
My point was that this has nothing to do with Zend or not Zend. It's happened to all of us in the past (except for maybe you) where we have commited code that had problems. It's counter-productive to attack individuals and/or entities about this especially when everyone's working towards the same goal of contributing to PHP. So people screw up. I prefer having the occasional screw up then less people helping out. Andi
