Right, that's not what I'm saying...
I would even suggest that extensions such as the XSLT extension or the
PostgreSQL extension should be bundled as well (more, just those two as an
example).
What I meant was that they were taken out of the PHP distribution until a
release cycle when they are again re-bundled for users to have, so:
4.1.1-dev == No extensions are bundled
4.1.1 == Take "stable" versions of predefined extensions out of pear and
bundle with the php distro.
