How on earth can you say that? Derick has received an _throphy_ for
spending his spare time on the painful process of managing PHP releases,
he knows what he is talking about, and it is not a selfish opinion.

Maintenance overhead hurts PHP. And our maint.overhead curve is going
up. We should strive to _reduce_ that overhead, not increase it. That
way php-dev will be more productive and give even the our users what
they really need: a (continously) solid product.
