Hey, I have added an idea on channels to the wiki, please check it out :) http://pear.dnsalias.net/index.php?area=PearQA&page=PearQAideas

I do not see the point to create a php5 only channel. This is the role of the dependencies not of the channels.

I see it as a possibility, but that can only be _in addition_ to them being released through the regular PEAR channel, just like the QA'ed packages channel. The downside is that a lot of devs would only subscribe to the PHP5_E_STRICT channel... which means we either have to make sure that a huge number of PEAR packages are E_STRICT compliant or PEAR will lose any chance of getting a large following once php5 comes out. And the release of php5 is our huge chance to find a very broad userbase. Klaus
