I also don't think it's a good idea, not even if we split out some of the functions to new 'extensions'. The power of PHP is that it had a lot of useful and powerful functions in the *core* and why would you want to change that? The problem with moving all those core functions to their own extensions is that they *can* be turned off too easily y hosters and then just the most simple scripts can break because of some ISP stupidity (and from what I know most of them are like that).
