Hi, Pierre wrote:

Now, the obvious question: why do the people who are unable to use PHP5 (for any real or imagined reason) care so much about the error handling mechanism of the packages they don't use?
Use your imagination to get an answer, I'm pretty sure you will find some good reasons. Ok, I give you a tip, because they will use it soon or later?

I don't have problems finding PHP5-enabled hosting here, and we have bears roaming the streets, you know. So people who supposedly can't find such hosting in e.g. EU aren't just looking hard enough. Or not looking at all. The only completely honest person in this thread is Lukas, who said "I don't want exceptions, because they'll force me to change my development habits a bit". So a real question is whether several people not wanting to change their development habits is a good enough reason for stalling the whole PEAR project.
