I do care, unfortunately I am not qualified to do more than test, and
I will when fixes become available.

Understand, I'm not trying to start a battle, I was merely putting my
$0.02 into a thread that was starting to split between "lets try to
fix it" and "just upgrade to newer PHP." My point is that upgrading to
a newer PHP is not a satisfactory solution to me and likely others,
because if it were that easy I/we would have already upgraded.

I am not trying to say that FC is "buggy," stable to me in this
context means supported and consistent. FC upgrades its software to
newer versions w/out any warning and introduces new features. If doing
a `yum update` breaks a program then in this context it is unstable;
FC is all about up-to-date, not about legacy support.
