I'm against it, because people still using separate installs do so because
they want full control about all components. Bundled PEAR packages are not
easily upgradeable, and might already be on the system, causing
redundancy.
This would also turn into a maintenance nightmare for distributions, that
definitely don't want duplicate code in their packages.
I think this would cause more trouble than it solves, if people want
convenience, they can install the bundles.
