ok I agree with the guy. He spent time trying to improve PHP for the entire community, and suddenly his work is removed from the main distribution without him being able to say something about it. I don't follow IRC stuff, I just follow this list, and i'm writing an extension for PHP because I like the language and want to give more people access to it. My extension will be working on specific systems, so I don't have any problem with it being put outside of the main distribution. However, this guy's extension is supposed to be cross-platform, and I understand why he's so upset. I also understand why you want to put it in the PECL distribution, but one main thing you have to remember, is that everything we do, the PHP community, is on our private time, most of us don't get paid for the amount of time we spend working on improving PHP, so please be considerate, and allow people to be upset when their work is put aside without consult.
