So this then means bundling more extensions by default and / or better marketing. What is the issue with simply not bundling all known-to-be-good/stable/current extensions? Admittedly, file size would be up. But I don't really see that as an issue. As a windows user, I would just want them

I think its important to understand why shared hosts dont like PECL. Some of the main reasons IME is that they 1. Dont know the author of the package 2. Dont trust the package to be secure 3. Dont know if the package will have a knock of effect on server stability. They know the core package

Hello, Many people (incl. php devs) asked me if I can include zip in 5.2.0. Ilia thought it was too late in the game and planed to do it in 5.2.1. I like to have it in, as experimental. Please note that it intoduces a new class called Zip, but I never saw a php zip implementation named Zip.

I would rather move more extensions from core to PECL, than from PECL to core. From my experiences the problem with this is many shared hosts wont install non core modules, so the more modules moved from core to pecl the less flexible php will be and the less use it will be. I understand

Shared hosts are used to deploying PHP Proper and ignoring PECL, because in the past, core was the only repository for everything. As PECL grows in popularity (and as users demand more PECL installations), we can hope this these hosts become more flexible. I agree and I also hope this is the
