You should be aware that some of the benefits of a package2.xml will disappear as well. For instance, the ability to use any version number you feel like without a warning will go away. package2.xml will still be a requirement in the future, just not in the near future. Once we switch permanently to 1.4.0, pecl can completely sever from PEAR, allowing pecl/http and pear/http to co-exist peacefully, for instance.
Thats a key point Greg raises here. Once you guys use package2.xml you are freed from the PEAR channel entirely. This will help deal with the different structures and regulations in each project and will rid us of the current cludges that were put in to let the installer magically pull code from 2 different repositories. Less reasons to get annoyed by PEAR and its policies .. regards, Lukas
