Hi Wez,It provides a basic template for making new extensions without having to go searching through PECL, this is a big + IMHO. Ilia Alshanetsky Advanced Internet Designs Inc. ilia@prohost.orgThe problem with moving ext/skeleton is that we'll end up shipping PHP without an extension template of any kind. Almost every single PHP book that talks about writing extensions uses ext_skel to do so.Since when have existing books been a reason not to change something?Giving PECL_gen some good press is a different issue, and does not require that we move ext/skeleton or ext_skel. I can't see any negative points to keeping ext/skeleton in the tree.I can't see any positive ones :)
