The drush/drush_pm concept has my mouth watering. :-) Small request. Per Dries instigation on his blog, make the command line installer PHP 5 only. It's a non-critical piece of really cool functionality and makes a good "value-add" for PHP 5.
I'm all for the "Go PHP5!" effort... However, I'm only in favor where there's a clear case that PHP5 would make the code any better. None of the code I have in mind for this functionality has anything to do with PHP4 vs. PHP5 changes. It's all trivial, plain-vanilla php code to glue the info from update_status.module together with some wisdom about CVS (with a little FAPI sprinkled in) to upgrade your site via CVS. Trying to force this to be a PHP5-only feature would actually be difficult, and totally contrived. Therefore, I'm going to have to graciously decline your request in this case. But, I'll keep it in mind for the future. Cheers, -Derek (dww)
