I apologize for not notifying you before moving it. However, you should consider a few things.
1. The discussion about moving msession to PECL did take place on the list, albeit some time ago. 2. Having it in PECL does have its benefits. 3. As we've discussed in the past, *a lot* of extensions currently living in ext/ will be moved to PECL. PHP should come with a lean set of extensions and we should widely advertise where they can get the rest. So, indeed, someone else's extension may be next.
