Hi Dario,

Since you're the current maintainer, I'd like to ask you: is #690174
only a missing feature, or a real severity: serious problem?

The package has no reverse dependencies, and is said to be not
maintained anymore at:
http://pear.php.net/package/XML_RPC2

Do you think it's still a good idea to have this package in Debian? Why
do you keep it?

Also, I asked the release team, and (unsurprisingly) they wouldn't
accept a Debian package HTTP_Request2 at this time of the freeze of Wheezy.

Thoughts? Should php-xml-rpc2 be removed from Wheezy?
