This is somewhere on my todo list (together with finally upgrading to
PHP 5). Enabling SSL support is technically no problem, but we need to
figure out if we want to go with an unsigned certificate or not.
(Getting it signed will cost money unless a CA is willing to do it for
free.)
Concerning a switch to REST (which I like) I'm a bit afraid about
backwards compatibility: If we do not want to exclude old installers
from PEAR, we will also have to maintain the XML-RPC interface for quite
some time, no?
