its still iterating, 17% is just where the counter is today. three weeks ago it was at 10%, two weeks ago 13.8%. i didnt post this as a final result, i posted becuase wp-admin rendering surprised me.
but no, it cant reach 100%. around 55-60% of the suite tests C extensions, gd, curl, soap, intl, mysqli, ffi, sockets etc. passing those would mean writing all those extensions from scratch too (libcurl, ICU, an image library...) which is a completely different project. the realistic ceiling for a from scratch engine is around 40-45% and thats the number im climbing towards.
