Do something about Net_CheckIP?

Hi, browsing the package-directory for Net_IPv4 I came across Net_CheckIP for "validating IPv4-adresses". Normally it should go under Validate (function validateIP) or you could use Net_IPv4 which also has a validate-function. What do you guys say about that? Well, I agree we can't remove Net_CheckIP since some scripts might use / rely on it. But how about adding a note "deprecated. use Validate-package." or "deprecated. use Net_IPv4-package." to the description? Is there maybe a way to disable showing it in the pear- webinterface so it's still downloadable if scripts directly rely on it? Or can we say scripts that depend on it work on systems that have the class installed. And for other systems only slight modifications need to be done to the scripts? Not an easy problem. How to do it right? One way would be "leave it as is" - but maybe that's a point which makes the "well-structured directory" a bit further unstructured. Are there other packages with similar problems / conflicts? Just my thoughts - please comment. Stefan
