If the XML_RPC patches were good and someone reviewed them please go
ahead. We could release a "beta" version with them. Btw if Marshall
wants and someone has reviewed his code, I'd invite him for being the
new XML_RPC maintainer.

Any approved feature/change should go to MAIN, we can't manage 3
branches, it's a mess.

Please before commiting any new feature or visible change to
php-src/pear/*, always wait for feedback. I guess you agreeded with
that when you requested karma for php-src/pear.
Remember that the PEAR package is the most important package, and a
package that could even manage php extensions in the future. We must
have a strict control over what things goes in.
