I agree that using classes is cleaner namespace-wise. The only thing that it sort of prevents is writing packages that are backwards compatible to php3. I guess that's a policy decision - do we want to really push people to upgrade to 4? If so, then make Pear 4-only and accumulate as many classes into it as possible. If not, then maybe some consideration should be made for having function packages as well. Also, here's a consideration: Can you pass a method name to usort() yet? If not, we'll have to allow at least sorting functions... -chuck
