Hi All!
I vote for merging the new patch for a delayed 2.6.0-rc1. First I was thinking that we are late in 2.6.0 cycle, but now I think:
I can live with that. You are right about people being able to user 2.6.0, but alpha may sound way unstable to users, so I was thinking that many will only migrate as soon as it leaves the 'alpha' cycle.
However I am concerned about the size of this patch. I have some time to devote to this and I hope other devs also have some time. Fortunately, Michael seems motivated and will surely cooperate to help on this.
As you maybe can see from my last work on PMA I'm getting a new grip and time to spend on it. So if the patch will be delivered in time I surely offer to work on it; just as Michal said, we need to apply our coding style to the patch and most of all try to maintain some backwards-compatibility for the 'old' look.
I was already thinking of splitting up the configuration file into a ".design" php file where one could apply the many optical directives. But doing so would mean huge work on the config_import utility...
Regards, Garvin.
