Without a specific reason, we will continue to use the system PCRE on EL7.  If 
a specific problem with the system library is found in the future, we can 
easily change via the with_system_pcre macro.

Subject: Re: [Ius-community] system PCRE vs PHP bundled PCRE

Eventually the system PCRE will start to show its age. Given that the purpose 
of IUS is to provide new packages from an upstream source, I don't see why to 
favor the system PCRE over the bundled PCRE given upsteam PHP is keeping it up 
to date.

 PHP was changed to use the system PCRE instead of the bundled PCRE for el7. 
Previous versions of IUS PHP RPMs have used the bundled PCRE 
(https://github.com/iuscommunity-pkg/php56u/pull/1) instead of the system PCRE.

Why was el7 switched to use the system PCRE instead of the bundled PCRE?


Thanks,
