Standard module should be in php4 source tree, but all other modules that can be moved including session/xml/mbstring/etc should be moved to PECL. I would not agree with this, by moving extensions to PECL you get the problem that they may not compile with the current (CVS) PHP tree. Managing compability would be worse. I don't think that would be a problem for for example the mysql extension, because it is maintained wel, but for things where the extension is not maintained, it would get obsolete very quickly. I would also like to stress that I don't like moving core extensions (which are used a lot) to PECL. IMO it has no use to move the MySQL/XML/Session extensions there, they are clearly a part of the 'core' in PHP.I agree with Derick. Andi
