“A link to the PIE GitHub repository is recommended to provide a call to
action to the user.”
I think it might be better to set up a page at php.net/pie to link folks
to, and this page can link to the repository.
Cheers,
Ben

Ideally we have a page in the docs like this, https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.composer.intro.php, for which we then can setup a short url (which we should also do for /composer).
Happy to help with this.
cheers

In fact there's already a mention of PECL extensions in the same section
that mentions both the pecl tool
(https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.pear.php), as well as manual
phpize (https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.phpize.php). Adding a
PIE subsection to that makes sense to me.

Folks,
Quick update on this.
I've amended the wording slightly to be more general about linking to docs;
the official docs can be updated accordingly and IMO doesn't need an RFC;
that will be done in time!
Assuming no further feedback/discussion, I'll start the vote on or shortly
after 6th September.
Thanks
James

+1 on this in general.
The only thing that might be worth to consider is what to do with prefixing
of extension repos that we currently have in PHP GH org. Should that be
also deprecated and should we make clear that we are not going to add more
of those pecl-* repos and maybe at some point try to move them out of php
GH org?
Cheers

Jakub,
I think the conclusion we came to was that existing PECL extensions may use
the pecl/ vendor, but new extns should use their own vendor. We can
probably just add that to the PIE docs for clarity, rather than use the RFC
process.
Thanks
James
