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.

I guess that's somewhat relative. When you compare PEAR's adoptions compared to, say Guido's PEP for Python, I'd say there's a lack of adoption. I don't think Travis meant to imply nobody was using PEAR1's conventions, but compared to generally accepted standards in other languages I'd say it's lacking. But, yes, PEAR1 is used by plenty of people (including all of my code and Digg's code). :) --Joe
