This means there are a lot of people using PEAR with PHP 4.3 and 4.2. And
there's almost no people using it with 4.4 - since 4.4 is not
out. So now you want to go out and tell them "upgrade your hosting to our
brand-new PHP version risking breaking existing apps - or lose PEAR. And
it's all because we want a fancy keyword". Not a good message for a
package that should be to PHP something like libc is to C, I think.
I didn't read it as being suggested that the php dependancy for pear was
bumped up to 4.4 as soon as 4.4 was released - indeed, that would be a
mind-numbingly stupid idea.
But as bug fixes are still coming out for the 4.x branch, why not bump
up the required pear number to 4.4 in say, 6 months time or something -
thereby giving users the time and enough warning to upgrade.
