You'll understand if I feel differently. From my POV, I did everything
by the book:
- Contacted one of the leads to get an OK.
- Launched the idea on the list (waaay back in November)
- Issued the new package for approval after it completion.
The only point where there could be some argument was on the
proposal/voting cycle for the new package. I think it is necessary, as:
1) This is in fact brand-new code; a reimplementation for a slightly
different language.
2) Even if I did get the ok from the lead developer, this is a core
PEAR package, and more eyes looking at it won't do no harm.
The conclusions drawn from the May discussion and the ensuing
corrections to XML_RPC2 have proven me right. Getting XML_RPC2 in front
of everyone for analysis proved fruitful and an important quality factor.
Anyhow, we gain nothing by discussing bureaucracies. Let's stick to
code, and after the quality of the package gets evaluated by PEAR
developers, decide on its fate.
