For pecl, we will propose to bundle pickle.phar, which basically provides 100% bc for existing packages and allow much more, like install from any URL/VCS based on composer, integration with composer (composer will call pickle for any php-ext dep). Last but not least, if one likes to drop "pecl install" support, he won't need to maintain package.xml, duplicate versions, meta and co but only the sources, config.* and README. I am waiting for the discussions+RFC about how to deal with 5 and 7 extensions support. Once we have a decision we will implement what is necessary for that in pickle.
