this is somehow related: http://marc.info/?l=pecl-dev&m=128041932812250&w=2 Stefan also mentioned that he won't continue the development of bytekit in it's current form, and if I remember correctly Pierre suggested that if the package is abandoned by the original developer, a new developer could take it over and bring it to pecl. for suhosin, having a decent documentation is much needed, and as you also mentioned, it's really "popular", albeit the Gentoo dropped the suhosin patch recently, as the it doesn't apply cleanly anymore. for the long term, I would like to see that we leave the past behind, and the useful features should be incorporated in the core, this way removing the need for suhosin in it's current form. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
