My recollection is that Rasmus didn't want to be known as "the guy who killed PHP4." But if the crowd is moving in that direction, he'd be very happy. So the 8/8/08 concept doesn't surprise me at all. It is, after all, the sort of thing GoPHP5 was designed to produce. (Not that we're taking credit for this. I think dropping PHP4 has been in the air for some time.) And did you see Larry Garfield jump onto the list late in the thread?

And it looks like php4 may have an EOL around 08/08/08... at least thats what it seems from the RIP PHP4 thread on the php-dev <internals@..> mailing list...

Great work Robert ! I've put up the Go-php-5 buttons on all my Drupal sites and got my friends to do it as well :-)

after coordinating with Dries I am happy to announce that Drupal 7 will be able to accept PHP 5.2 features into core!
To celebrate Larry Garfield, Ken Rickard and myself have launched http://gophp5.org. Please check it out and spread the word.
