I see another issue after reading this, and that is that it makes it 
much harder for users to depend on specific extensions just being always 
available by default. It's important for application distributers to 
have this core set of extensions to rely on. It's annoying enough that 
some distributions (gentoo, freebsd) already use --disable-all and their 
users then bugging us (or me) with "you should check that SPL is enabled 
in your code".
