While of course I would strongly agree that keeping PEAR up to date is a good 
idea, do we really want to advocate doing this from CRON?  I recently had an 
outage due to an upgrade of the PEAR Mail package when it was released with a 
bug.  I was able to respond to it quickly because I was updating after hours 
and of course testing as I went.  Updating from CRON just feels inherently 
dangerous to me.
