What Else Have We Learned?
• Hosting companies and customer choices only affect a small number of developers (4% of actual deployments)
• Windows Server not yet an important platform for developers (3% of deployments)
• Zend has surprisingly small market share (6% of planned deployments)
• Are these opportunities, or a wake-up call?

What Can We Do About It?• Official PHP.net binaries might drive earlier
adoption of new releases
• Better understanding of early adopter issues would reduce the rejection rate in future
• Does the .0 release need to be released sooner, to gain wider testing than QA releases do?
• Get the .1 release out and into the hands of users sooner to drive the second wave of adopters
