Hi! I started a pretty good discussion about using PHP 5 only. To me, it is absolutely no problem to switch back to PHP 4 with the package if this is what the majoriy wants. Since I am a newbie here, when do I make all the changes? After the Call for votes? Currently most of the stuff I am working on is PHP 5, so I made a clear decision. Personally I don't understand why one should refuse a PHP 5 only package. Well, this is the future, every maintainer has to switch sooner or later. I think it is a well-comunicated mistake that PEAR is simple and for everyone, in fact it is not. So what is this backwards stuff all around? In a couple of month everything in this package will be done with PHP 5 on a level accepted by the PEAR community, so then we have a PHP 4 version and a PHP 5 version what makes everything more complicated for the user than having only one choice, clean and neat. All the best Markus
