honestly i think a lets start from scratch approach is best too. but i
do not think that this will get a majority. i would love to see an
updated CS (with all the group regulations and maybe some idea borrows
from eZ), updated PEAR core package and all new namespace and packages.
all using a new organizational structure. pear 1.0 can live on during
that time. and it will be 6 months before pear 2.0 can produce anything
stable.
I completely agree with this. A fresh look at PEAR is what we need.
Updated CS, cleaner package structures and all-new packages (PHP 5.1+
of course).
6 months would be well worth it!
