Yes, of course.
I just don't see any reasons to include experimental extensions, 
that will cause such "security advisories", into the core distribution.
Someone can explain this to me, maybe I'm wrong?

No, I'm not going to fill PECL with hazardous extentions =)
In PECL we can at least tell, that this extention is not stable
yet and we have only alpha/beta/gamma version.
IMHO, this will warn admins of installing this extention on production
environments.
