Derick, this is not only about the PEAR date class but about pretty much every larger PHP codebase/project.

Actually I just decided to work through my 100,000 lines of code and rename every class; for the sake of forwards compatibility, I'll generate GUIDs for each class and keep a mapping table on my desktop. Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll switch over to some other language as well. -mp.
