It is hard for people to figure out which package to use. More bugs will show up with less developers there to fix them. Contributions will help less users, because they are distributed among more packages etc.I agree. But how should we realise that? If we start saying "No, we don't accept your package, better merge it into XYZ." people will loose interest in the contribution, because of the new changes they have to apply to their code. Then so be it. In my opinion, it takes more skill to contribute to someone else's package or two merge two packages then to just wrote something from scratch and add it to PEAR. In the end both the developers and the users well benefit more from fewer better packages. Ofcourse new packages are welcome as long as they add new functionality to PEAR.
