Some reasons: - ext/xml_rpc was kept there mainly for pear, sadly was not enabled by default which makes it pretty useless for shared hosts and friends - xmlrpci do not bring anything but overloading (for the client part, server being not in cvs last time I checked) - Webservices (xmlrpc, soap,...) should rely on smaller memory usages and faster processing that the default libxml2 parsers (dom and related functions), ie xmlreader and xmlwriter, in libxml not the php extension In my opinion, xmlrpci _and_ xmlrpc perfectly fit in pecl from php 6 and up. Adding one is only adding more confusions. Regards, --Pierre
