I'm pretty disappointed to see comments like these around here, and not getting downvoted. This comment adds nothing to the conversation, and criticizes PHP with no factual basis or explanation.
It's funny. PHP gets a bashing for the rotten bits .. when the rottern bits get patched up it gets a bashing for breaking BC.
Anyway, I don't think you understand just how empty that attack was. Frankly it was nothing more than the ramblings of an obviously very inexperienced developer.
If you had read the diff you would realize they did not.
