Re: Re: revision to the standard that would make me happy

So we don't lose any of the rigor, and gain flexibility. Does this modified sales pitch change your mind? :)

I believe above stands as my answer. I'm happy to be swayed by a majority of non-PEAR developers showing me how I'm wrong, though.

...and this is why regrettably I must say I can't support either the standard or its advocate, Travis, for re-election to PEAR Group. Someone making decisions for PEAR should be advocating *for* PEAR, not against it.

indeed.

Err, guys?! Let's not overreact and turn this into a game of politics. PEAR is not an island. Yeah, hard to believe but PEAR co-exists with many, many other projects. The download figures we got are nice, but e.g. I bet phpclasses exceeds them by far. ;-) Aside from whatever the standard looks like, Travis is trying to come up with something that would be also adopted outside of PEAR. This does not mean that he is *against* something.

I think Greg wants to point out that a job of PEAR "executive" is first and foremost promoting *PEAR*, not promoting *himself* and his own agenda while (ab)using the PEAR name. I tend to agree with Greg here.
