Exploits in PEAR?

My *network admin* guy is suddenly against PEAR for reasons he does not feel inclined to share with me. I guess reinventing the wheel is more fun (hey, at least its job security, huh?) Does anybody know of any particular exploits or security problems with using PEAR? specifially the DB, DB_DataObject, Services_Weather ??? <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> The information in this email and any attachments may contain confidential information that is intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s).
