For people installing PHP from .deb or .rpm sources this shouldn't be an issue either way as the package managers would take care of that (no more opcache extension, no opcache.ini). For the rest, and to avoid a lot of startup warnings we could consider to explicitly ignore loading of a zend_extension=opcache? Technically this should be easy but the question is if this is sensible. People *could* have an custom extension named opcache.so that does something else, but that feels very unlikely. Otherwise, massive fan of the RFC. Having opcache as a given (even if deactivated) will make it a lot easier to get people to use it and reduce friction.
