In what is it a problem? Drivers packages should be announced like the main package. See MDB2 for example, I would hate to do not see the drivers announces, or to have to read another hidden channel.
That should all stay as-is, yes. What Christian is saying is that perhaps PEAR's package list should be more structured so that MDB2 driver packages are viewed as "subpackages" of MDB2 and not in the main package listing.
IMO we don't need real subpackages, just artificial subcategories on the web site, to make browsing packages comfortable. I agree that these 17 new packages (and new drivers that users will submit) are going to flood the web interface. One may argue that package.xml could be where to configure such subcategorization... But some fields on the "New package" form at pear.php.net could also do the trick. What do you think ? -- og
