It says that clearly the community do not care one bit about any larger goals of PEAR. And indeed -- why would they? The messages on this list from members of the PEAR group (and Greg who's vote was conditional for the same reason that others gave -1) suggest that the problem here is not that your package is bad, but that the right thing to do for PEAR is not to accept another package only to then turn around and deprecate all of them in favor of a unified approach. [snip]I don't see why anything else would be deprecated. Lots of people have chimed in on this point and I don't understand it. What was proposed was a unified *base* from which other packages could be created. Xipe would either extends the base or be another backend for the base. It would still be its own package, it would just rely on the base. So, nothing gets deprecated, they just suffer a major rewrite, but keep their old functionality, a-la the new base template package. -- paperCrane <Justin Patrin>
