I'd like to introduce an RFC to lay out a timeline to sunset PECL and

Thank you. With Docker, arguably the main remaining user of manually
installing third party extensions, removing PECL from the images for PHP
8.6 and having a well-functioning PIE workflow this makes sense to me.
The proposed timeline also nicely coincides with the EOL of PHP 8.5, so
that there should not be any remaining Docker users that we would break.
It might make sense to add
https://github.com/docker-library/php/pull/1654 as a Reference to the
RFC and to spell out explicitly why this timeline works out nicely.
I have no other comments to the RFC.
Best regards
