Using iterator_count is fine if you know it only contains images, otherwise you're pretty much implementing the exact same logic in a different method. As for which is fastest, the only way to test that is to get some folders, some purely images, some with half and half, some with mostly non images and benchmark it.
Selected is removable if we never provide any such UI as the language dropdown; using the flags pretty much invalidates that requirement, so yes, it should go. (Is it not even used in ManageServer?)
I feel your pain re external libraries with comments, I'm having similar fun with phpseclib. What's the benefit of updating?

I wouldn't worry about testing the code thoroughly because what will happen is that I'll be testing it by writing add-ons which will show up different weaknesses in the code, e.g. how live reported an issue with ENUM handling in the DB code, and the more hammering it gets with add-ons, the more thoroughly it's all going to be shaken out.
It might not hurt to write unit tests for the add-on manager.
And thanks :) I did try to construct something that would handle what I was going to throw at it, and it reverts one of the irritations I had in later SMF releases that the code was removed instead of fixing it.

Yes, I meant to test for that. No, you can't do what you suggest, I tried it originally and PHP complained bitterly.

"User might insert 5, or 5.3, or 5.3.0" or something to that effect.

Hahaha, yes, I guess that's true enough!

Oh, heh, yeah, 'be insert' is a typo.

I think the race to 9k is going to be close and that 10k is totally open :P

I can't remember why I used filetype instead of is_dir, performance will be comparable though.
The libxml lines will be restored in due course, but while I'm working on it and debugging it, I wanted any libxml/SimpleXML errors to actually be thrown, as opposed to caught separately (which is what will eventually happen)
Nope, not a typo. The idea is that users, includingplugin add-on contributing authors, are inherently lazy. If they require PHP 5.4, say, should they use 5.4 or 5.4.0? version_compare expressly considers 5.4 to be different to 5.4.0 so the idea is to normalise them as best possible before calling version_compare, and well, I did the PHP ones first, then copied it for MySQL.

You'll beat me to 7500 and probably to 8k but 10k is anyone's guess :P

Plugins / [Naming poll] Re: Packages

Interesting to see the current split in the poll. I haven't voted, specifically to avoid biasing things, but it does seem to reflect what Nao had already observed before about the split between folks that prefer plugins and folks that prefer add-ons.
And yes, WP plugins != widgets, a WP widget is the equivalent of a template block in the skeleton here. A WP plugin may add, or display as, a widget.
In our terms, it's much the same, and for the same reason.

Yeah, an awful lot of the mechanics are set up around "enabling", which for non edit based work is generally just adding a few settings to the DB, which is really what we're talking about here.
Just for the record, the target word tossed about was "Wedgets", though "Wedgelets" crept in somewhere.
:edit: If you're wondering why we care, it's because we want to make the whole experience more meaningful for users, not just in terms of extending the core but how you interact with Wedge.

And in the Linux.org case it was done through the human element being compromised rather than the technical element.

Yeah, I'd heard about this; it's not great considering the resources available. I'm not sure it should be taken as ironic that it was an SQL injection - such an element is not a flaw in MySQL itself but a flaw in the application logic higher up.[1]
I doubt this is intentional on Oracle's side; it's not in their interest, because it's not like MySQL isn't making them money.
