The maximum crap I can see: pear list Foo_v1 Foo_v2 Foo_v3 Foo_v4 where 30 other packages done by the user depend on every single Foo. Does that make it work on them? not really, the 2 years old release is still installed and heh, he still does not have the time to upgrade his old code (or do not like to work on 2 years old codes). I thought this was the point, 2 years latter you can still use the old version if you want to, PEAR shouldn't be forcing people with working code to upgrade, i have lots of php code that i don't do anything but security upgrades on until im doing feature work. I just don't have time to upgrade my tens of thousands of lines of php code at the same time, no matter how nice the features on the new version are.-josh
