Well, the number in the package.xml file was already 5.0.x, as set by hartmut. We can set a policy for other extensions, but can't decrease the package version for this one, since it is already released.
We have a policy in PEAR that might atleast partially be sensible to be applied to PECL. http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=65 Hmm well I guess the key pieces it specifies is that you start below 1.0.0, that 1.0.0 means API stable and that you cannot go to stable before 1.0.0 (especially the last point is obviously controverse as alot of people mark things as stable but stick with a version number below 1.0.0 to denote that things are not yet feature complete). Beyond that it deals with BC breaking releases by forcing essentially an entirely new package. Its essentially what internals is currently doing with the idiotic "i" appending (as in mysqli, xmlrpci ..). regards, Lukas
