Got news. The tl;dr is that Chuck Burgess from PEAR got in touch with me 
(and also Elizabeth from the foundation). He did let me know that he is 
good with looking at sunsetting the website and removing PEAR from PHP 
source.

This is great, because A) everyone involved agrees on the goal and B) 
this makes the vote a formality.

He said he doesn't read here, but anyway from me a thank you to Chuck!

That said, I would soon bring this to vote -- so this mail could be seen 
as my "intend to vote" mail. However, there is one detail I would want 
to double check with you all. The RFC currently has this sentence:

 > Attempts to find solutions with PEAR maintainers, directly and 
through official channels, did not lead to results.


Given that Chuck now got in touch and is in favour, I am not happy 
leaving this sentence unchanged in the RFC. I'd much rather remove it 
(or strike it and amend the agreement?).

The question is, when the "Proposal" section remains explicitly 
unchanged does it count as a minor change? Given the state of the PEAR 
website, and that the vote will be a formality, it would be pity to have 
to wait another two weeks to open the vote. Thoughts?

Since this is a policy question I added Tim in CC.
