It would be good to see the > numbers. Not about PEAR, but about PHP-supported servers according to http://reviews.gcoupon.com/browse/servers/Website_Servers.html PHP4: 17603 (17%) PHP5: 88755 (83%) BC-break rule was good 5 years ago, now we should get rid of it. - Most likely none of PHP4 users care about updates, - This rule stops some PEAR developers from being more active (like me), - This rule stops progress also because new packages (*2) are not used immidietly by distributions, and the process requires some time to stabilise the new code.
