in reply to The flip side.... PhP is dying.

That developer left for personal reasons, and I don't think he appreciates you and others reposting that all over the web. His departure had nothing to do with PHP itself. He's a Fin who served as a UN Peace Keeper, and since one of the UN observers killed recently by the Israelis is also Finnish, he's decided he can't in good conscience continue work on a project funded by an Israeli company (Zend).

    Thanks for "the rest of the story".

    P.S. If you know the man, please give him my apologies; but he unwittingly got caught up in another war.... the language wars.

    Well, in fairness to Zentara, his letter is publicly posted on the web. It's not as though Zentara were revealing a secret. Simply saying he's leaving and that it will be a blow to the PHP project isn't exactly libelous. One might even consider it complimentary.
