Philippe Jausions (http://pear.php.net/user/jausions) has commented on the proposal for RFC::Prefix all packages with P_. Comment: Prefixing classes with something clearly marking the class as part of the PEAR framework is definitively needed. Besides that, "P_" is the most unsexy thing to use. Yes it's short, but frankly that would actually hurt PEAR, from a marketing prospective, and would probably also conflict with users applications. We should either use Pear_ (to make the distinction with the PEAR package and sub-class) or think about something completely different and doing so allow a rebranding of PEAR. BTW, prefixing class names would allow to go to Pear_MDB instead of Pear_MDB3, which is why maybe a rebranding could help...
