I don't think that any current core developer has access to their GH organizattion. Or do you still have access / control to do any changes there and make it deprecated? My main issue with this RFC is that it's about project that we don't effectively control and I'm not sure here is anyone who can make any such change to it. From what I see it's currently maintained by Chuck who, I guess, also control the project. Or am I wrong? Alternatively we could potentially propose here move that away from the PHP domain if we think it's not good for PHP image but that could mean that we might completely shut it down without any deprecation if there is no agreement with the current maintainers. So the ideal case would be to put together some plan how to either get it deprecated and moved away. But for that we need to first here from the current maintainers and get them on board. If here is anyone who has access to PEAR and can comment on this, that would be great! I also CC'd Chuck as I think it's crucial to get his opinion on this. Kind regards, Jakub
