Not wanting to put a dampner on the whole topic, but the policy is not to bundle stuff in PHP, as the core distribution is getting a bit too large to QA. The whole point of PECL is to manage your extension releases independently from the core. Not only that, but the "big boys" in the PHP group have made it known in the past that template-style extensions are not going to be bundled. (check the archives!)

OK, thanks for the context. The QA issues make sense, but just as a bundled PDO extension (http://marcus-boerger.de/php/ext/pdo/) would do a lot to standardize and simplify DB access from PHP, I think a form based extension would also help a lot. But that's not my decision to make.

IMO, making QuickForm into a C extension is going to be a hell of a lot of effort and not much gain (but feel free to prove me wrong!).

If it isn't to be bundled, I think the biggest gain would be me honing my extension building skills.

Why not petition the pear-core people to put the pear package in the bundled pear stuff ?

Will do. David
