What? PEAR has been distributed successfully with PHP since version
4.3. From the end user's viewpoint, there is no difference.
go-pear.bat = go-pear.bat on windows, "make install-pear" = "make
install-pear" on unix. The difference is in terms of the maintainers of
PEAR, who will have to do a lot more work in order to synchronize new
releases of PEAR than we do now.

Not in this mailing list please. You are welcome to search the archives
of pear-core and pear-dev, there has been a lot of discussion of PHP 5
and PEAR.
