Or if it has nothing to do with performance, why not including everything from PECL into PHP core, so PHP could offer out-of-the-box more and more features for developers?
PECL packages get to maintain their own release schedule, unlike PHP which follows a fixed cycle.
PECL packages have their own permissions, unlike PHP which only allows a narrow group to merge code into it.
The PHP core team does not have the knowledge or time to maintain every PECL package, or even a large number of them. Things distributed in Core should be produced and tested to the same standard as the engine itself.
Certain PECL packages conflict such as if they were forked. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
