Hi everybody!
It seems there are a lot of (old) bug reports for unmaintained PECL
extensions. I wonder what the official stance is on that.
For instance, there is #57551[1], which has been "suspended" by Joe
Watkins recently. I'm not too happy with "suspending" those bug
reports, because they're lying around without a realistic chance of
getting fixed, and come up from time to time when looking for a "random
bug".
Then there is #58612[2] which is about an extension that had its only
release in 2003, and its latest commits 5 years ago (apparently, some
standard commits for several PECL packages). Wouldn't it make sense to
close such bug reports ("Sorry, but you're using an unmaintained
extension ..."?).
Thoughts?
