Would that be reasonnable ? I'm wondering if we should start a PEPr voting where people can state which option they prefer. So far I see the following choices: 
      * Force exception usage in PHP 5 code
      * Continue PEAR_Error(Stack) exclusively
      * Encourage exceptions but allow PEAR_Error in individual cases
      * Leave it up to the maintainer
I think holding a vote on this is the best thing we can do.
I do not think we should start one. For once, pepr is not adapted to this pole, it is not a +1/-1/0 but a multiple choices. I also think it is premature to start one. I see no hurry to define strong rules now, let us the time to digest this thread and eventually come up with specific cases if required. --Pierre
