Hi, this is a general reply to what seems to be a theme in this thread. Here are my observations and comments. It seems to me that a lot of comment from php-dev people is mostly concerned about getting control over PECL. I generally agree that php-dev people have more to do with maintaining the c

It's not like PHP5 will get out the door any time soon. If the plan is to move all php5 extensions to PECL, why wait? Move them. Fix things. Seems like a good idea, and fairly straight forward, especially when you have someone as capable as Sterling volunteering to do the work. Best Regards Mike R
