Hi,
 
I considered submitting this as a proposal, but decided the mailing list would be a better place for it.
 
As far as I can tell, the Zend class doesn't actually serve any useful purpose. The registry component is about to be superseded by Zend_Registry, and the class-loading functions could easily be moved to, eg Zend_Loader, which IMO would be a better name for it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as I understood it,  Zend::registry is not going to be superseded by Zend_Registry.
And I really don't think that having problems copying Zend.php is a reason to remove it.

My reason for taking exception to the Zend class is that it lives outside the Zend/ directory in the library, and so when I tried to put the zend library on a svn:externals command, I wasn't able to put it in my lib/ folder with the other libraries and the rest of the code. I had to put it in a new zflib/ folder which I found to be rather messy and I have to have workarounds for it.
 
As the svn:externals command is a particularly easy approach to upgrading the zend library within another repository (you don't have to keep downloading new copies, you just update the revision that gets checked out), I would like to suggest that you make that as easy as possible.
 
Regards,
Richard
