We did actually come to a consensus Pierre. And that is that PHP owns the top-level namespace, but we should use decent descriptive names and avoid any obvious clashes. ext/date does date, time and timezone stuff, so its classes become DateTime and DateTimeZone. pecl/zip deals with Zip archives, compressing, decompressing, listing, etc. so it makes plenty of sense to call it ZipArchive. And yes, if we some day do a Zip code extension, it would likely be called ZipCode and not Zip as well. If anybody doesn't think this is the consensus we reached, please speak up, but I am pretty sure we have majority agreement here, so let's just please move on. -Rasmus
