Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] PHP Package for PHP

It either says something about me or about PEAR.=20

Then the next logical question would be do you know what PECL is? :)


But to be short my point is - before attempting to get new =
function(ality) in core it (seems to me) that more realistic if you =
really want to achieve that is at least by presenting some kind of =
working base blocks especially when there are all the means to extend =
the language both on low level (being an extension) or a pure-php =
package in any of the existing channels (composer / push for =
repopulation of PEAR? etc).

There is usually the argument - "if this is not in core no one (people =
on shared environments/hosting) won't be able to use it" and so on.. The =
counter to that are things like Imagick / redis / memcache(d) / APCu =
which are vastly popular but still live outside core (obviously those =
are not language rather than engine features).
