Dwayne 'yp' module was moved out of PHP core into PECL repository and since then this module hasn't had a "official" release for a very long time. So, why do you think that we should bundle this module within Open Solaris ? I was hoping to bundle modules that are under "active" development / maintenance so that we can provide support to our customers in near future once the business model around Indiana evolves positively. However, if you think that there are customers using this module , then can they not use it within Open Solaris through "pecl" ?
