It was not the reason.
My main motivation is about ease developer work (no information
duplication, wrong version number, binary support out of the box, etc),
allow installation from any sources and provide a packagist for extensions
and kill the need of "package release" and finally make it work with
composer. Pecl is still supported and any pecl package (v2) can be
installed using pecl.
Right now the majority of extensions are not available via pecl but in
GitHub and a bit on bitbucket. And this tells me that there is a big need
for a composer for extensions.
