No, I smell added flexibility at the expense of "forcing" users to add an ultra simple __autoload() (or spl variant thereof) that simply does your beloved require_once.
A broken enough user __autoload() implementation will break PEAR2 installation. That'll remain true, BTW, even if we provide our own __autoload().
The difference is that users in this case will be "forced" to rely on PHP native functionality and that they can expect a clear error message. So I am not so worried, but of course we will still see our share of "__autoload() wtf" support requests. Anyways, judging from your other reply, I guess we are slowly getting the ideas clearer, now someone just needs to but the summary into the proposal. regards, Lukas
