Ok. You seem to misunderstand the last part of my message. So let me
be crystal clear here. Your attitude right now is poisonous, at best.
Please change it.

Now about this specific comment.

I maintained the core of pear, pear.php.net, pear web frontend along
many other things around pear for years. At some points I was more
busy with php core itself along many other things and also realize
that the PEAR project did not match my expectations nor I see it as
the future of packages/distributions tool for PHP. So I decided that
it is better for my personal, egoistical goals and expectations to
leave the project. How did I left? It took months. I ensured that any
of my packages have maintainers, I ensured that any of the core
components had maintainers, then I left.

So please, before you go down your big horse to insult my work and the
community, do your homework and respect everyone here providing you
the tools and language you use for your own projects. Also I strongly
suggest you to consider your own view or vision as one along many, not
the only viable absolute truth or usage. Thanks.

Cheers,
