Yes, I am a bit worried that PEAR will get obsolete too. But I think it is different for the components. They are used by PEAR packages and you need the dependencies there. When installing tools like phpunit and phpqa related stuff I am glad that I can install them with PEAR or distribution installer and have the dependencies automatically installed and updated. They will be used by different projects I am working on.
It is different for projects that use frameworks, there the composer makes sense because you want to have control over all your dependencies in the git repository. I usually don't include phpqa or tools in composer files. On the other hand: I know have to deal with a lot of ruby projects (puppet, vagrant, cucumber, ...) they tend to bundle all libraries and sometimes even ruby itself, because of the dependency hell they are in. Once a security problem is found in a central library I will have to update all ruby projects. I don't know how much work it is to keep the PEAR stuff up for the components, but it certainly makes my life easier at work and as Fedora packager.
