That's a good question. As far as I understand we still need PEAR because
it also provides the PECL installer. So it would be good if the installer
is fixed.

As an immediate action I would suggest to disable installation of PEAR by
default, given how it should be irrelevant to most PHP users who don't
install extensions via PECL.
