I have only rough knowledge of `pecl` (the command) since I'm mostly working on Windows, and I don't know anything about Cargo. So I don't have the faintest idea whether that requirement would be a stopper to add the extension to PECL. Do we have precendent for that requirement? I've seen on <https://github.com/phper-framework/phper>, that <https://pecl.php.net/package/skywalking_agent> is also build using PHPER, but <https://github.com/apache/skywalking-php> doesn't claim to require Cargo. Maybe you, Frederik, or Derick or somebody else can clarify? Cheers, Christoph
