Re: [PEPr] +1 for RFC::Prefix all classes with PEAR_

After reading all the negative votes and comments, and although I already voted +1 on this RFC and I'm late with this, I'd like to propose the following: - "PEAR_" prefix for all _new_ and _new major versions_ of existing packages (that's what the RFC says) - allow to remove the category name from the package name (this is not in the RFC) The last point would allow us to name a new major version of Structures_DataGrid "PEAR_DataGrid" which is short and descriptive enough. Of course, some packages need to retain the category name, e.g. DB_Table, HTML_Table and Console_Table. Some other candidates for removing the category names would be the networking and web services packages. (Looking into other categories should give even more candidates.) Regards, Mark
