E.g., SwiftMailer, HTMLPurifier, and Mike Maberezny's "Mad" framework all use the PEAR1 naming convention.Might I ask what problems have we encountered in PEAR1's naming scheme that warrant this?This is warranted by the lack of adoption by anyone outside PEAR and in some cases open hostility toward the PEAR naming schema by those same people. Zend Framework and SolarPHP are the only two packages outside of PEAR that I know that use the PEAR naming schema.
I have recommended the idea in companies where I have worked with developers that don't have a PHP background and have met with resistance.Nitpick: "Meeting with resistance" is the natural response to change. The question is not, "do developers who have not used it before like it?" but "is it a good fit for the problems as presented?" -- Paul M. Jones http://paul-m-jones.com/
