CI and PHP6 - Problems?

[eluser]phpMaster[/eluser]
there has been talk of
remove the possibility of short_open_tag in PHP 6
.. along with some other things some people fancy

I do not know how the current suggetion is,
but sooner or later it willbe only '<?php' and '<?php echo'

It was interesting to read some summary overview to the state of php 6.
One thing after the other was examined, and either approvedfor php 6, or rejected.
Some things was desireable, but we have to move slowly here
because many like this old thing.
We may have to make it backwards compatible - at least for some releases.

If they would do as they have found best for PHP, for security or other logical reasons,
it would come as a total shock for many 'backwards' php scripters.
They do not want to upset .... not too many, not too much .

Just look how many years it has taken, to get away with 'register_globals' and '$HTTP_GET_VARS'.
O mi oh my ....
