I have to agree with Andi. The GoPHP5 effort wanted to have a fairly aggressive timeline because its main target is projects and shared hosts, and if it was too far in the future no one would notice. The involved projects also won't actually have their next feature release until later in the year some time.

The PHP dev team, however, has a different set of targets. It has to include distros and business servers. A longer warning period is sensible.

Which of course means that the sooner an EOL date is announced, the sooner PHP 4 can be retired. :-) Sometime next summer sounds reasonable, and I've no problem whatsoever with kitch dates[1].

Well, then I guess we have no choice but to declare

official PHP

4 end-of-life to be on 8:08:08 pm too :) Now we only need to choose a suitable timezone :)

Well, for us using the 24 hr clock I'd say 8:08:08 am (ante meridiem) as it otherwise will be 20:08:08 when we speak

and write about this event.

Except no real geek would schedule anything for 8am.

Easy. Schedule it for 8am in China. Do it in Canada, UK or

Israel. :)

What about 8/8/8 8pm in china and 01/01/08 Canada, UK, USA.. that way we can get rid of it quickly and if it's meaningful for chinese people to use the number 8, we can do it on 8/8/8 for them (irony/joke) ? Seriously.. I don't really see the point in keeping it for another year.. imho end of the year is great and more than enough time to upgrade, we've got to cut the cord sometimes.. why not keep it until 9/9/9 since it's 6/6/6 upside down and means the devil.. the end of things.. could also be the end of php4

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson
