I think we should distinguish between the two cases - not having extension in core and deprecating the extension. Unless we declare that the only function of PECL now is to serve as a graveyard for archival of deprecated code. I don't think we really want to do that? If yes, than we should distinguish between deprecating the extension and just moving it to PECL. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
