PHP developers on r/PHP report that PECL's release pages, such as pecl.php.net/rest/r/amqp/stable.txt, are timing out while cached pages still load. A GitHub issue (php/php-src#22827) tracks the problem. Commenters recall past PEAR server outages blocking deploy pipelines and recommend migrating to PIE (php/pie), though some extensions still lack PIE support.
