PEAR is already tricky for distributions, since you don't get the same
thing installing distro packages vs. using the PEAR command.

And we've been burned multiple times by PEAR changes (DB.php quote(),
etc.) when people upgrade. Distributing the supported package version with
Horde could eliminate a lot of that.

Unless we offer bundles with every single app combination or at least base
app package (chora/whups/etc., hermes/minerva/etc.), I think a lot of
people will use the tarballs that don't need special flexibility. And if
they want to use their own PEAR libs they can adjust the include_path
accordingly.
