I understand that this extension was supposed to be standard in PHP

MAMP, and Apple's out-of-box PHP. Ouch... that creates a steep
learning curve for people who have traditionally been able to
kick-start Symfony easily.
(MacPorts PHP offers it as a port at least; that last isn't a real
complaint because virtually everything is a separate port in macports
PHP. But installing MacPorts PHP and MySQL is considerably more
difficult than installing MAMP or just adding MySQL to Snow Leopard's
pretty-good PHP)
I am concerned that this is probably significantly reducing the number
of people who are really evaluating Symfony 2 any further than the
"HelloBundle" level.
Bernhard mentioned trying to decouple intl from the forms framework.
Is anyone actively working on this yet? If I'm looking for a place to
contribute, is this a reasonable task to take on?
We won't consider the form/validator framework stable before the intl
requirement has been removed. However, some features may require intl.
Bernhard is aware of the problem, but I don't know if he's working on
it. Ping him and talk with him about this, I'm sure he will be very
pleased to let you work on that topic ;)
