Was the removal of most pear package in 4.3.11 intentional?
Yes.
Will any of them come back, will any of the .11 packages be removed or an other changes coming?
No. The only other change being considered for the future would be to make it easier to install PEAR by providing a single file containing all resources, but this is still very much on the drawing board, and would not affect the packages ultimately installed.
Don't care either way, just want to know what the plan is.
The plan is to rely on users installing these packages. It was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the bundles, and because older versions were often bundled, it introduced potential security risks as well.
