Awesome work, thanks a lot!  Last I checked upstream said the aim was 
for 5.3 to be out in September/October timescale.  The F10 feature 
freeze is August 19th, so this is probably going to be a F11 thing.

I think php-common will be appropriate for phar unless it's a really 
huge binary.

I hadn't see that; yeah, no reason why not to enable in in Fedora right 
now.  Feel free to commit the necessary changes :)

Are there ABI changes in 5.3?  ABI changes will break "make test" if the 
patch to force use of "php -n" throughout the test suite is not complete 
(which it usually isn't), and old 5.2.x system .so files get loaded.

And thanks for doing that too ;)
