Removing is not an option, as 1) it was downloaded by 267 people who might now depend on it [1] And? MS dropped the NT4 support although there are >10.000 Installations out there. Also the download rate isn't a value for guessing the use of the class (i downloaded Archive_Tar at least 40x this week while playing with the installer)
Also note that Stig removed his Asnyc-Package, because he hasn't the time to maintain it. The possibilty of removing packages is one of the PEAR Quality basics, there is no warranty, that a package will remains in PEAR - only the upcoming PFCs will have such a requirement.
