[PEPr] Comment on PEAR::PEAR_Exception

For myself this is not about a PHP4 dependency, it's about all the packages I have to install when a package depends on "PEAR" just for the exception. So for example, I depend on HTTP_Request2 which uses PEAR_Exception, in return I have the following packages installed along with it: * xml_util (1.2.1) * structures_graph (1.0.4) * pear_frontend_web (0.4) * pear_frontend_gtk (0.4.0) * pear (1.9.4) * console_getopt (1.3.1) * archive_tar (1.3.10) Strictly speaking, they are not required for HTTP_Request2, but they are installed because of the PEAR dependency. -- http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=679
