<snip> Well I don't really understand what your personal goal has to do with existing packages. The four template engines on PEAR are sufficiently different to justify their existence or in any case each of the has been approved in the past.

I would like to point out that none of them have been approved that i know of, in fact everything older then a year or so ago hasn't, they just sort of floated in because no one complained.

so they are not legitimately part of PEAR ? sorry but this doesn't make sense at all. Right, let's cancel all the pre Pepr packages... As far as I know QA removal actions from the directory some old packages where the lead had no intention to continue/no release/orphaned the package and no one was sufficiently interested to take over. From this to go like merging packages which are now part of PEAR (doesn't matter under which rules they where grandfathered, these are PEAR packages now) without the formal consent of the relevant leads it's unfair. Under this idea there should be no Template engine on PEAR as there is already Smarty which is an official php.net project. Thats the rule we apply to anything new. IE a double standard.

I'm just saying anyone who pretends it doesn't exist is sticking there head in the sand. And removing everything is a Strawman, there are better solutions. -josh
