Call for a new Pear; Fruit of a different substance

Recently, disatisfaction over the current state of PEAR lead some to opine the need for a new PEAR. This raises many questions:

  1. What form should this new PEAR take
  2. Do we scrap the current project and effort and start anew
  3. Do we refactor the existing code?
  4. Do we thoroughly understand the problems that led to the current state in order to avoid repeating them?
  5. Are we certain the steps we take will not lead to different problems that cause a similar outcry in the future?

A clueful discussion of this is happening at PHPEverywhere, started by Jon Lim’s entry of the article
PEAR2: The interface is the framework. Some very good points made, and links to great articles are found therein.
