Re: IT[X] unstable - why?

The problem with ITX is: a) no maintainer b) ITX is *not* 100% PHPLib template compatible, but a lot people believe this c) We have IT and Template_PHPLib, both are working fine. ITX is a bastard, a thing between, which have never go to the PEAR repository. ITX sets a layer over a layer -> slower then every other template solution in PEAR. There is no real reason to use it.

Telling people not to use IT[X], even if it is in PEAR, does not make much sense to me. Removing it from PEAR does not make sense to me either, since there seem to be a lot of people that are happily using it. I vote for clearly pointing out the disadvantages in the manual and finding a new maintainer for IT[X] (Michael?).

Hmm. O.K., I could, but I wonder if it makes sense to split up IT and IT[X]. As the name implies, IT[X] is only an extended IT, so both developments go hand in hand. Shouldn't they be maintained by the same person? Michael
