if .php5 & .php4 are not going to be to popular (although I think it makes the distinction alot clearer), perhaps /usr/lib/pear5 (default folder for a PHP5 channel)
Still failed to see where a PHP5 is usefull, just setup a new tree with the right settings could be the way. Imagine 2 channels defined on the client side, but each of them has different settings (dep php>5 or <=4.x) and both points to the "normal" PEAR channel.

I see one advantage. Nowadays, we've taken the "include space", and this doesn't benefit the adoption of the installer because of possible file clashes. I find a better layout: <php_dir>/<channel>/XXX.php than the current: <php_dir>/XXXX.php New classes would do require_once 'pear/DB.php'; It's a nice opportunity to fix that :-) Tomas V.V.Cox
