Let's consider a situation - I'm developing a project in php 5.2. This project might work fine on php 5.3 - I don't know I didn't tested it yet. I'm depending on 5.2 version. Testing this code for a new php will take some time. Php 5.3 is considered as stable in F12 - fine for me, but IMHO should never be considered as an update for F11. Some people depend on some constant values here - php 5.2, postgres 8.3 etc. I know that there is a RHEL5/CentOS5 for such things, but this is pretty outdated OS for my needs. > > Orcan Regards, Michal -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
