Stop thinking of developers like yourself, and instead think of those newbies out there. There's two side to what PEAR does, helps the current sophisticated developers deploy code quickly, but also helps know-nothings like Johnny.

<rant> How fortunate that PEAR isn't targeted at "Johnny". My other OSS contribution is Russian translation of phpBB forum. Naturally I left my email in the translation file to be notified of translation problems. I've yet to receive any problem report and/or suggestion, but every once in a while a "Johnny" or more appropriate a "Vanya" writes to get help with installing phpBB even while I explicitly stated in plain Russian that I don't do that. These "Johnny" types who have nothing to contribute (and more importantly, are not willing to) and have no respect for the developers but want attention to their "global" problems and *now* are what irritates me the most about OSS community. So, little Johnny can f*ck off. </rant>
