[sles-beta] php disappeared in beta6?

[Joe Doupnik]

     Without having heard Matthias' presentation on the topic, the 
appearance at present is this is hostage taking. As we all know, PHP is 
a central component of building production servers. Chasing down -devel 
RPMs is awkward enough, now core material is being placed behind locked 
doors. Might someone offer a brief explanation of why this approach is 
being taken?
     Thanks,
     Joe D.
