To be honest I've not got any real hopes of the DDos being really reliable in preventing your server from being completely hammered by someone who really wants to, besides your host should be doing DDoS prevention before the traffic even gets to your server; going further, how are you going to monitor a real DDoS attack without installing any binaries to monitor the ethernet device? Or are you just going to put in some kind of recording system to count the number of times a visitor hits your site inside of a few seconds? What about the attacker calling for images to be loaded a hundred bazillion times? Php won't monitor that unless you put in some kind of .htaccess rule to route all images through a pseudo-proxy php file to serve the images, but that will only eat up more CPU and memory than just serving out the image.

How will the memory limitation work? I could see this being very detrimental to performance is not handled correctly, esp in high traffic sites. What about requests using AJAX methods? Ajax requests, when programmed incorrectly can make multiple multiple calls to a server, usually unintentionally by a user.

You are also planning on putting some 3rd party programs in your package - is this wise? I mean, what about people who can't install it or don't have the ability to install it on their server (e.g. APC, eAccelerator)? Or don't use an OS that supports it or they can't compile it for their host? (Windows for example).

By Filters and Actions do you mean an Event dispatch and listening system that goes above and beyond what CI already has?

UTF8 compatibility -- What is this going to do to the CI Core, will the users be stuck waiting on you to update core files when a new version of CI is released?

And what do you mean by Global Variables? What will make your implementation any easier or better than using an actual PHP global var?

Not trying to be a stink face, just asking questions that rub away the polish to reveal some things that make you wanna go huh?
