what part of "all of it and I am not going to try to convince you about this" do you not
understand?

I am not interested in pushing Suhosin into PHP mainline. Why in hell would I want that. If Suhosin
gets absorbed by PHP.net then I would have to start a new project, because there are tons of
mitigations I can think up that will be implemented at some point in time and will never make it
into PHP mainline.

With Suhosin existing I am free to implement as many security mitigations I like and do not have to
beg the PHP developers to consider adding something.

Regards,
Stefan
