Issues concerning subpackaging should IMHO discussed, too.

I wrote an rfc regarding subpackages that received quite literally no discussion whatsoever :). It is now sitting in the php-src/pear/docs directory of CVS if you would like to review it. I have every intention of coding subpackages for PEAR 1.4, as I've written several incarnations for earlier PEAR versions, and the only extensive code will actually need to be at pear.php.net rather than in the installer. Of course, discussion is good, but I'd hate to see the absolute mayhem caused by the BC dispute. Update: after tons of discussion on the list, several revisions to the RFC, the PEAR group has successfully discussed the BC RFC a few times, and come to no decisions. This is all second-hand, of course, as I'm not in the PEAR Group. People are busy, so even critical priorities slip under the table. The next time I propose an RFC, I think I'll include some code that does what the RFC says and see if it makes any difference :) Greg
