PECL to Shut Down by End of 2027 After Revised Proposal
The PHP community has proposed a shutdown date for PECL, the legacy extension repository being replaced by PIE. James Titcumb's follow-up sets a January 2027 banner, a read-only switch in June 2027, a series of brownouts, and a full shutdown on December 31, 2027. The original draft had proposed running until the end of 2029, but reviewers including Rowan Tommins and Derick Rethans argued that freezing unpatchable packages for that long was risky. The timeline was cut to one year, and Derick agreed with the revised plan. No vote date has been set yet.
