I think one huge rename (from mixed case to lowercase) was enough 
beating for this section. I like perl-cpan the way it is.

Pear-php is using a "pear-*" convention to be able to identify all PEAR 
spells (there are non-PEAR spells in php-pear), upgrade them, and create 
new ones. This had nothing to do with users.
