[PHP-DEV] question on policy of renaming an extension

Why not take the opportunity and move the extension to PECL? It sounds like a good candidate. Well, PECL still seems a bit like the redheaded step-child. I cannot even seem to reference it in the php documentation online (except for seeing some modules have been moved there). There are quite a few
