Anyway, for one I'm against any new commercial only additions to pecl,
for the libraries used by the extension. There are many reasons behind
that:

- pear installer tools allow companies to create their own channels
- providing resources for commercial entities doing nothing or
providing nothing for us
- no matter how we say it, people will keep asking us to get support
