With help from Derick I looked into it, my understanding is that we can 
flip the switch without first unbundling as long as we don't break the 
resource URLs (XML, packages, phars). The static archive will keep 
providing the required resources under `pear.php.net/*` (eg. 
`go-pear.phar`) and `pear.php.net/rest/*`; just no longer from the 
dynamic code base that powers the website currently. The domain will not 
change.

That said, the vote -- depending on when it starts -- will not end 
before mid October. The current archive is still PoC, and I will have 
some work before switching. Realistically, we will not land anything 
before November. So that aligns with your own timeline and we will have 
time to coordinate. Sounds good?

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/23634 which targets 8.2.
