I don't know the extent of the php-pear-* packages but I think that Remi
is suggesting that most of the pear packages that horde/imp/etc. would
use are already packaged in Fedora (surprising).

Therefore, it may not be the best idea to do a 'pear install ANYTHING'
or 'pear upgrade-all' because that may pull in pear packages that get
clobbered when you do something like a 'yum update'

Personally, if I am going to the trouble of setting up a server that is
to be running Horde/IMP, I doubt I am going to use Fedora because the
life cycle of Fedora is too short...but don't let me discourage you.
