Hi all.

I'd like to move ext/msql (Msql, not MSsql) to PECL before 5.2.0RC2 and curious how many of you have heard of people still using this extension.
Personally I haven't heard of any.
Anyone?

Hi,

msql was obsolete back in 1999 when I was still using it. I doubt many 
people have touched it in this century,

I don't think you need to move it to PECL. I think it should just be cvs 
deleted, and a note added that as of 5.2.0 we no longer support msql.

Well, moving to PECL without creating a PECL project is virtually the same.
Also, you know that the approved policy is to _move_ and not to _delete_.
So I think one more dead/obsolete/unsupported module won't hurt PECL.

CVS delete will keep it for past versions and archeological research. I 
don't see msql ext ever being needed again and I don't think we should 
treat PECL as a garbage dump.
