I never used the PEAR Date - it was crap - but all my applications
failed with your new one BECAUSE Date was the obvious name for that
package. I STILL can not see why we can't just select these things
as I do in C++ and include your new function if I want or keep with
my own established version - what ever the name. This new stuff
does not HAVE to be hard coded into the core - simply loadable like
any other good extensible language? If we don't want it we don't
load it! I don't need any database stuff other than Firebird -
therefore I want a DATE and TIME package that follows Firebird
rules end of story.
You seem to be under the assumption that people care about what it is
that you want, reality is that most people could care less. That said
this is an open source project, so rather then pointless whining on
the list you can always tweak the source code to your needs, such is
the beauty of the open source software.
