A few things (posting here, as I think it fits the RFC and I am also not
subscribed there)

- this is supposed to be in core, right? The distros often have a
"php-pear" package. How will this work?
- how is the symfony stuff gonna be bundled? In a phar? Can we even
include it in the main php release with the symfony license?
- I am unsure how composer comes into play here? Needed? Bundled? (Again
I am just trying to grasp what will be needed for an end user to use it)
- did you forget to commit pickle/src/Installer.php or is it just not
yet finished? Would be the most interesting part ;)
- A bit unsure about the .gitignore part. People might want to configure
that?
- Very surprised by renaming CHANGELOG to RELEASE-*, the former is kind
of a standard, why change it? Especially having n files instead of 1.

Apart from that it sounds like a good idea.
