Can you distill the problem to one paragraph or less? I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're getting at. OK, I'll work on it. Initial/primary argument here: under Windows, to load one extension that I would have had as an integral part of 5.0.*, I now need to install two extensions via php.ini, and it's not evident (without reading the manual - and why would you, to install a simple upgrade?) that there's been any change. I realize this is not an issue for the cognescenti, but I think it might be a problem for people trying to figure stuff out - and I'd also submit the vague idea that a lot of the people trying to figure stuff out might be win32 users.It's nothing that can't be solved by some good documentation.
Secondary argument is as a result of your responses to my initial bleh: You need to decide whether PECL is intended as a laboratory with stable releases that become part of the PHP distro, or an integral part of PHP at all developmental stages.The whole point of PECL is that its lifetime is completely independent of PHP. --Wez.
