By > all means, go ahead. I will not, as said. I will even be happy if your package will get in. However my point here is about maintainers and their rights and roles. I'm not going to do anything more inside PEAR if one can come in with a major version and get it approved using a proposal. What I suggested is that you role back your proposal to draft and wait Daniel's feedbacks. If everything is fine with him,then you can even directly commit it unde XML_RPC2. Regards, --Pierre
