Perhaps it's time to write up a few of those guidelines? I obviously have little problem with having the mongo driver docs in phpdoc, but we do need to realize that we can't just have any random PHP extension's docs in phpdoc. For example, we probably don't want code-licence-incompatible extension's docs in phpdoc. (In that case, I could write a proprietary for-pay only extension and 'demand' those docs to be in the PHP Manual). So restricting it to PECL extensions that are installable through our pecl channel makes sense. (Because we demand certain licenses for those).
