While I support the idea that PHP is a hideous language that should never be used, I do not support the idea that your role as maintainers should allow you to refuse to package something for what is essentially a religious reason. Steve's comment about it being experimental is also incorrect, despite the file he quoted, which is out of date. The embed APIs have not changed at all in the four years this bug has been open, it is as stable and mature as anything else in PHP. I think this argument is only being used as a strawman to support what has already been decided based on religious reasons.
