I would love to be able to upgrade just the 'GD' extension if there was a bug on the extension on release PHP4.1.12 and it was fixed on PECL version of the extension 2.1.23. I would also love to be able to tell the users of my application to just use the PEAR installer to download and install the bugfix release of the GD extension instead of telling them to not use a particular buggy / not compatible version of PHP. I can understand that it will mean more work to you guys to handle several release independent extensions, but if you can just use the PEAR installer to download the stuff from the repository, you will be able to download the stable releases from PEAR and then build the general PHP distribution.
