I have error_reporting set at E_ALL | E_STRICT and get 35 Strict
Standards notices every time I load MDB2. Is this something to be
concerned about, and is this typical of other PEAR packages?
Hmmm, could try upgrading the modules that are giving errors.

It's because MDB2 retains compatibility with PHP4. Pretty much all the
strict messages are related to using is_a() instead of the PHP5
instanceof operator and calling methods statically that don't have the
PHP5 static keyword. Neither should be a problem in practice.
As for other PEAR packages, that depends on the package. Newer PEAR
packages are PHP5-only, and generally should be E_STRICT compliant (and
if they're not, report it as a bug), but older packages (which includes
pretty much all the popular ones, judging by the stats page) retain PHP4
compatibility and hence will have similar issues with E_STRICT.
