A colleague noticed that in an upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.3.11 the
pear/DB extension was no longer installed. The ChangeLog does not
mention this. Should it be added to the changelog, and why was it
dropped? I didn't completely follow the discussion here...
Thanks for any hints,
Martin

Not only DB, but HTTP, Mail, XML_Parser, Net_Socket, Net_SMTP were all
dropped from the tarball. Was this a deliberate change? Will future
releases continue to not include these PEAR packages?

Yes. To understand the decision, it is best to read the pear-dev and
pear-core archives.
Downloading and installing these packages is simple, and keeping them up
to date was proving to be impossible. It was introducing potential
security risks as well (older versions may not contain critical fixes)
