PEAR 1.4.0 or earlier, available in all recent (and supported) PHP
releases. The installation of the pecl command is done by the installer
(gopear or with php releases). It has to be used to install pecl
packages, not pear.

The question form my POV and maybe our users remain:
Installed with php-release:
pecl-command is available as of PHP x.x.x?
"in all recent (and supported) PHP releases" is a vague term.
There must be a PHP Version we can name, where pecl-command is installed
first time, no?
We should offer this piece of info to our readers :-)

I agree completly, that it is important to introduce the notion of
*installer* version.
But I didn't get the part about "more important". More important than what?
Don't get me wrong:
but imagine someone is reading the docs, how to install a pecl-extension
as outlined, fires up her terminal, types "pecl install
<pecl-extension>" and pecl-command is not available? No hint in the
docs, thats bad, whats going on ;-)
Wchich steps should she take to get the required pecl-command or maybe
she can still use pear install... ?
