Sure it'll be in PECL, just like dio, crack, yaz, and the other half
dozen or so extensions we've removed from PHP 5 ext/ and into PECL.

Well considering we've done it already with a number of extensions, I
don't see a big issue. Note also that I'm not hugely concerned with
*when* this happens (read: What version of PHP the change is made).
Although there could be a bunch of compat functions to emulate the old
xmlrpc behavior,I'm against it simply because there is nothing stopping
someone from having both extensions loaded.
