It is. To give you a real world example: You can't believe how many Horde
users we had that tried to install HTML_Select as written in Horde's
install instructions. First they didn't find this package at all because it
was simply removed from PEAR. Then they wondered why nothing worked because
HTML_Select has become a completely different package. Congratulation!
Now imagine what happens if Console_Getopt is removed as a standalone
package from PEAR...
