Hi internals,
I'd like to introduce a new RFC to deprecate pear/pecl (in 7.2, and remove

Yes!
It's good for the software (and its users) if it is maintained and
contributed to using _currently_prevailing_conventions_ in f/oss.
as well as add composer/pickle (optional in 7.2, default in 7.3+)
in their place.
Not so sure about this.
While composer seems to be the currently prevailing convention for PHP
deps right now (I don't know pickle), each project could instead have
its own installation guide containing whatever makes sense (perhaps even
something Windows-based for Tony).
The PHP project could usefully maintain a policy on installation for the
projects it has fingers in (PHP's a style guide to installation guides).
But I don't think it helps to *dictate* those tools and methods and tie
them to PHP releases. Just liberate the code and *encourage* uniform
practices but let them evolve with some autonomy.
