[php-maint] Debian PHP 5 release schedule

[Ralph Schindler]

Hello list,
   My name is Ralph Schindler and I (on my free time) work on the Zend 
Framework.  In building some components for the framework, I've come 
across a problem in PHP that only exists in php version 5.2.0, which 
coincidentally, is the current stable version of PHP in that series.

My question is, when do you guys expect the 5.2.3 (in testing) build to 
become stable?

Unfortunately, there is no fix for the issue in that version, and I have 
noticed quite a few people (that use debian) discover their problem on 
their own.

A fix exists by using &__get() instead of __get() for all versions 
greater than 5.1.4 with the EXCEPTION of 5.2.0.
