Weird flag activity regarding PHP 5.4
Well, I have been keeping my eye on package database on php-* packages for some time now. What was hapening it was first flagged, then unflagged and so on, many times.
I sensed conflict of interests here. So, I have a question regardig Arch philosophy in such cases. Upgrading to PHP 5.4 will no doubt break many applications, whose authors relied on (for some time now) deprecated features, like magic_quotes_gpc, register_globals, etc.
My question is - what is done in such cases and who decides whether the package is going to be upgraded or not?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Thanks. However, I think this deserves a news on front page.
