Pear is far from dead. What's dead is fabien's pirum tool. Pear is
losing developer support with many 3rd party channels but for existing
products, it's still the documented way to go. This is much a developer
perspective vs consumer perspective debate. Plus, a lot of pear packages
end up being rolled into distributions (rpm, deb).

There is not yet a good agreed-upon way to package composer libraries
into distributions.
