Even if Pear and Pecl overlap and share code, it would be better to focus on the end-user capabilities and have separate RFCs for altering those capabilities, rather than just trying to do everything in one RFC. i.e. have: One RFC to deprecate then remove the ability to install Pear userland code modules. A second RFC to deprecate Pecl and optionally start using Pickle. Can you clarify one thing though - am I correct in that Pickle is completely userland code? So why does it need to be 'shipped' with PHP. Why can't it be a separate download? cheers Dan > pickle would still have the same problem ( > https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/pickle/issues/133) Needs moar macros: https://travis-ci.org/mkoppanen/imagick/builds/150948947
