Is there no consens on the open issues? i think most of the significant issues have been resolved, and there were maybe a few superficial/cosmetic issues for which no consensus was reached. then again, it's been a while since i've given it full look over so my memory is a little fuzzy. as for why there's been little activity on it--apart from the usual "i've been busy doing more important things" etc, i think a big motivation killer was that we never received any feedback from the PHP team themselves (multiple requests were sent over a span of >= 6 months), and without that there was a feeling that the draft lacked a certain level of legitimacy. at least that's how i saw it. *however*, recently i've recently found myself hijacked into the PHP team, so i would expect the status of this to change noticably in the not-too-distant future. currently, i'm more focused on getting the php package into a releasable state, but i've also made some minor changes (such as the conf.d scan dir settings) to move the packages and draft closer together. sean
