Hi, I know I have been guilty of formulating my concerns about PDO's history in an unfortunate way that turned out to sound more like a personal attack on Wez, than a sound technical commentary (which is all that counts on an OSS mailinglist). So I cannot pretend to have a white vest in

Hi Lukas, I am not sure if I misunderstood some other persons proposal, but at least my proposal was that the final thing we ship as version xyz of PHP would include a set of PECL extensions along with core that we deem as necessary for the bulk of our users solving the web problem.

Good point but I admit that I never understood why our windows releases have been so different from the source releases, from a configuration point of view. Many default extensions are (were) not enabled. But that's not a big problem and can be easily fixed no? :) It's not a big problem so long

Assuming the aim is to have everything _not_ enabled by default move to PECL, that's quite a big deal. That's another topic and I tend to disagree (more later on that). I'll wait... but I suspect all the arguments against that are based on PECL as it currently is, with all its distribution
