Some extensions like mbstring behave different when not builtin. So i suggest we find out which theses are and let them in.
Having them in pecl in no way prevents them from being compiled builtin.
Also for extensions like ext/gd i don't see any reason to move them out of the php main tree.
Release cycles and QA, which is the only reason to do any of this at all.
