[PEPr] Comment on RFC::Prefix all packages with P_

Stefan Neufeind (http://pear.php.net/user/neufeind) has commented on the proposal for RFC::Prefix all packages with P_. Comment: Is somebody is (eventually) to invent a general name like "File" or "Date" again in the scope of PEAR, I agree that prefixing it with Pear_... might be a good solution. However from current use of such general terms, I think for most new packages they might be used for groups of packages (like File_DNS where File_ is only the "group"). If we are to use very common names for a new package, I guess in those cases the discussion could start to either rename it beforehand if possible or prefix it with Pear_. If there are no existing packages that we urgently need to take action with, maybe we can live another year (or maybe two refering to adoption rate that Andrei mentioned) and beg for namespace-support :-) Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=420 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
