Yes, it was discussed, and I thought it was clear for everybody that phar had to remain in pecl and was not mature enough for core. Once again, as we don't have any formal RFC/decision process, people whose proposal was clearly rejected/delayed can still have it approved: they just have to wait a little and, then, hide it in the middle of a bunch of more important votes. Once your software is in the core, it is easy: if somebody wants to remove it, you invoke BC breaks ! That's exactly what is done here. As most people forgot the discussion about PHAR vs PHK, it is proposed again, but today it is hidden into a lot of more problematic decisions, like register_globals and safe_mode, which will generate a lot of buzz and help keep it hidden. I proposed several times to implement a more formal RFC process for PHP but didn't get much success. As the Zend Framework has implemented such a tool, what would you think of a similar site for the PHP core ?
