It was discussed, but with phpdoc new translations are added so rarely  
that there's no serious overhead for maintaining the externals. PEAR  
and PECL see modifications to the package list a bit more often, and  
it's less closely watched, so the externals would become out of date  
reasonably quickly. It would be potentially possible to automate it,  
but we've been more concerned with getting SVN completely stable  
before playing around. If you want to look into the necessary code on  
your own, feel free to look in SVNROOT/ for the post-commit setup.
