Seriously I would also like to see all three in pecl. I am not saying that they are not used nor maintained but a more flexible releases and leave more options to the maintainer(s) could actually help. The main problem here is the barrier to get a dev environment up and working, quite high, especially for the 1st two. Interbase is easier but is a niche server, so any kind of fixes or changes tightly related to how this DB works require more than the usual suspects like pgsql, mysql or sqlite. I also do not like to use pecl as a cemetery for dead cows. After this RFC, if some choices are actually accepted, let discuss how to deal with that, from a pecl.php.net point of view. I would rather have them marked dead and to do not appear in default search, a big warning on install should be displayed as well (that's something I can take of if desired). Maybe change the RFC title to reflect both kind of moves and them to the list.
