Our company does webhosting for our customers, doesn't it make sense when I want to install all stable packages on the webserver, so the customer can decide which nice PEAR package he wants to use and which not? You are right, some ppl just will use install-all because they are lazy to lookup the 3 packagename he wants. And this would do increase the bandwidth usage, but what is about my webserver for customers?? Altough, lets think a bit further, I got an email of a package maintainer für a new Linux distri, he's creating distri pacakges out of the PEAR packages, what about him? That 99.9% sounds too harsh to me, I think there should be way to get all packages but less documenated, if someone loves PEAR, let him get it!
