You can checkout pecl module branch PHP_5_2 and see all the symlinked 
extensions there for PHP_5_2, plus intl...

I think you just haven't stumbled across that co possibility. It doesn't 
show up anywhere as an official PECL branch, but it does work.

I also build from CVS, Pierre. It's useful to me to be able to pull out 
PHP-branch-specific PECL modules from time to time.

That said, I'd agree with you completely if it weren't for the differences 
in PHP 6. As things are, though, I'd imagine a lot of PECL developers could 
find a use for a PHP_6_0 branch that ships with/is built alongside PHP 6, 
and leave their otherwise working code in PECL CVS HEAD for the time being. 
Extension-specific experimental branches aren't really relevant to this 
discussion because we're focusing on distribution for now.

- Steph
