Comment:
Re: 'The better and more debatable justification is "PHP 5 is maturing, and
we expect that most new scripts will use it be the time we make a stable
PEAR release."'
Yes, PHP 5 is maturing; our company has just completed migrating exisitng
sites to PHP 5 and we're doing all new development work in PHP 5. The
PEAR community may want to / have to migrate more slowly and that's fine.
We wrote this package to scratch our own itch and if it is useful to others
that's great. The feedback has been excellent and the second release is
far better than the first. However error handling is important when
running external binaries and we're not really interested in stripping out
the nice exception handling to make this package work in PHP 4. Of course
somebody else is free to back port it to PHP4...
