As for TODOs, I agree. They are interesting for developers, so should
stay in PEAR's documentation directories.
Some time ago, I have proposed moving INSTALL and other user-specific
documentation back to Horde webroot. It is really hard to find even
for intermediate sysadmins. Especially when PEAR doesn't have a
unified simple way for accessing documentation. Like for example "man"
command for other ordinary applications. But, well... there was no
support from other devs regarding that :)
