I really really hope... that some functionality like new Authentication, i18n, caching are backported (not all at once please) to Genoa.
This also has 1 big advantage: it will make the transition from Genoa to Siena soo much smoother.
I agree with Gert completely, I am all for readability and procedures are not bad at all. OO if needed... (after all it does add overhead to code !, so you must gain something with OO if it is used)
@Trustmaster:
About the sed_ thing.... Personally i dont care about how a function is called.. I think we even should leave that alone (let it be sed... so what)
let me say it like this.... Does this change from sed_ to cot_ make anything better.... the answer is simply NO.
It takes a lot off time to do that.... custom plugs are not working anymore unless we use crappy fix layers for just renaming functions...
And that only because it sounds nice... i simply say if it is a waste of valueable time... dont do it !
Same rule applies for every change.... Does the spent time really make it better... if not dont do it.
I really hope to see the next generation Genoa rise...
