Helgi, can you post something to the front page of PEAR, and pear-general?
Its going to take us months to get this sorted out properly - I'm just
cruising through unmaintained packages only at the moment, and it is time
consuming.
Additionally, a lot of these are wontfix-ish (low downloads, superceded,
etc).
If we put something up along the lines of:
*Hey, pear users, we are potentially going to kill off these packages (
http://wiki.php.net/pear/packages/migration)*
... that will cause a lot of noise but save people pain later on, and also
prompt a lot of people to pay off code debt - both within pear and in
userland.
Giving people a very loud, very public heads up now will give us more leeway
in wontfixing really old packages.
