I didn't say that my code is more important, but if we don't get the 
date class now, we will get it in 5.1.1 and then break your code - so 
that doesn't really matter. THe only correct solution is to start 
prefixing the pear date class, as that needs to be done in the long run 
anyway.

No no, the core reserves the right to name whatever they want, it's the 
userland code that is responsible for prefixing their classes.
