I do know that, I did explain my opinions about having PEAR bundled by
default in 5.1+ and so on. But other php developers seem to fully
disagree with me on this topic, as many PEAR developers, nothing more I

As PEAR 1.4 _has_ to be compatible with 1.x, we did not ignore the
changes. But we cannnot drop php4 support or maintain 2 code bases.
