Re: [PHP-DEV] Timeline for Apache 2 full use?

*cackle*  Ok, and after I get fired for having to explain to my boss that 
it was my fault that the server was down because I was playing with 
experimental code, I'll have plenty of time to write you back about the 
problems I encountered :)

Seriously though, if at this point, all the 'base code' of PHP is 
certified, could it be possible to start a checklist of which modules have 
been certified and which haven't?

In the code we will be using, we are actually using surprisingly few 
libraries: Arrays, Date/Time, Directories, Filesystem, and Math ...

If a list could be formed, of what was definitely safe, then perhaps some 
people, like us, could start using it earlier, knowing that we weren't 
doing other stuff (like image manipulation, DB access, etc.)
