As a user, I wanted to throw my two cents in. Our security administrator
_is_ considering this particular fix to be critical, and has made it a
required patch. While it's true that this particular fix is protecting
against poorly written PHP scripts, it also appears to be the case that
such poorly written software is fairly common and is being actively
targeted. I also think that with this patch in PHP itself, there will be
a lot less pressure for any of the packages which employ unsafe variable
handling to actually get fixed. I know that I personally don't have a
lot of say on the matter, but it would be nice if the patched version
was released sooner. Thanks for your time.
