Coding style is flexible, especially if we're the ones doing the
distribution.

By this, I mean that “putting it in PEAR” could just mean setting up a
MediaWiki PEAR channel.  PHPUnit, for example, moved
http://pear.php.net/package/PHPUnit to its own PEAR channel
http://pear.php.net/package/PHPUnit.  Other packages related to PHPUnit
are also maintained there.

And as Rob pointed out, putting these “sharable artifacts” in a PEAR
channel doesn't mean that we can't continue to maintain them in SVN.

Setting up pear.mediawiki.org seems like a good solution to me.

Mark.
