Hi internals,
I'd like to introduce a new RFC to deprecate pear/pecl (in 7.2, and remove
in 8.0), as well as add composer/pickle (optional in 7.2, default in 7.3+)
in their place.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-pear-include-composer
I highly recommend reading the twitter poll and accompanying thread at
https://twitter.com/dshafik/status/756337267547832320
I believe that pickle solves the issues with regards to pecl, and have run
the idea passed Jordi and Pierre. Both are fine with this RFC. :)
I understand that adding in composer/pickle is just setting us up for
having a future "Deprecate composer/pickle & Replace with foo/bar" RFC, so
I've proposed the voting reflect that some people will just want to
deprecate/remove pear/pecl and not replace them at all.
I'm also proposing voting choices around the optional/default introduction
of composer/pickle.
