As such, I believe that competitive pressures (as demonstrated by the Savant proposal and vote) are the best way to get unification: if every package is under threat of being overtaken by a competitor, every package maintainer has a strong incentive to collaborate, even if the collaborative package is not in PEAR. Without competition, there is no such incentive; developers can disregard new ideas with prejudicial abandon.
I have to agree 100% with this - competitive pressure is essential. First of all, competition shows that a solution doesn't completely solve every problem, or nobody would bother to write a competitive package to begin with. Greg
