So after some discussion, i decided to go with php-simple-kafka-client which better captures the spirit of this extension. I also adjusted the current release to be 0.1.0. Please let me know if you guys have additional input. Otherwise i'll request a PECL account in the coming week. Thanks in advance to everybody
