Alexey Borzov (http://pear.php.net/user/avb) has commented on the proposal for Web Services::Services_Digg. Comment: The package may not have HTTP_Request as a required dependency since HTTP_Request is not a E_STRICT compatible package, see http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=419
There is no E_STRICT alternative to HTTP_Request, I strongly recommend we allow dependencies on older packages when there is no alternative.
I strongly recommend going the other way round and "fix" the package in question instead of fixing the rules each time. One of the goals of my E_STRICT RFC was to encourage the rewrite of base packages like HTTP_Request to PHP5 (yes, I know that I'm its maintainer, but outside help won't do any harm).
