I noticed that there's a stale version of a supported package on pecl: https://pecl.php.net/package/pdo_dblib Should this be removed to avoid confusion?
Alternatively a note might be added, as it has been done for PECL/domxml, for instance. Either way, that should also be done for PECL/PDO_SQLITE and PECL/sqlite3. And the out-dated note for PECL/SQLite should be fixed.

It seems to come up on this list semi-regularly that there are extensions which exist in both php-src and PECL, with various statuses. PECL is also considered the official "attic" for extensions which are no longer supported in php-src. I wonder if there's anything we can do to make this relationship cleaner. For instance - and consider this a straw man because I haven't thought it through at all - could supported extensions by managed in PECL's version control with special "official PHP build" branches / releases? That way, pecl.php.net could show the correct support status as a matter of course. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
