And if you read his sentence, you would see that he was simply encouraging people to do just that and upload elsewhere. He didn't say "don't put your code on phpclasses".

PEAR (and I'm going to give my own vision of PEAR here; you are all free to dispute it) simply aims to have things well organized, well documented, and well thought out. If there are two (or even three) well-thought out, honestly different ways to do something, well, then PEAR has room for all three. If there are 4 different implementations of one idea, then PEAR will create a best-of-breed implementation of that idea out of all 4. > So, please be serious when you bother to criticize the work of others that > effectively contribute for the joy of being part of the PHP community. > You may not realize just yet who you are hitting, but some day you will.
