Despite the release candidates for PHP 5.2.0 marching on, Lukas Smith still has some misgivings about some of the functionality being introduced in the release - specifically about the fatal errors that are going to break a lot of (working) object oriented functionality.
Anyways I just posted the following email to internals in a list attempt to get some of the people with php-dev karma to lift their finger.
In the message, he notes the change he's looking for and a suggestion to get it included before RC6 of the series gets released (which has been released as of this post already).
