Dan Scott (http://pear.php.net/user/dbs) has commented on the proposal for RFC::Coding standard enhancements. Comment: Daniel's comments on all 3 issues look like they were written after running phpcs against my code (242 errors, 142 warnings) - very familiar. I would be a big +1 to at least relaxing the level of enforcement on these things to "warning" rather than "error". It was irritating to spend about an hour cleaning up the "errors" in File_MARC that made no visible difference to the documentation (okay - there were a handful of incorrect parameter names in the docblocks that were valuable and rightfully called errors) or to the quality of the code. I'm concerned that enforcing the coding standards for whitespace at the level of "error" will push potential PEAR developers away. We tend to have a whole lot of other things to do; reformatting code is a pretty low priority.
