I agree with Jani here. It's a bit of a catch-22 but putting more
popular extensions into PECL should help.

Bullshit. PECL is just as good as "core".
It just needs more marketing. One good way to sell it to people
might be to put some most used extensions there. :)
If some extension is useful and needed people WILL find it in
PECL.

He has a point..While I understand the desire to move things out of
core, we don't have any reasonable facility to put things into
PECL and
be distributed to anywhere near the same number of people. Until
we find
a way to get the general population to consider PECL at the same
level
they consider PHP, I don't see how we can ever really avoid putting
"experimental" code into core -- it's the only way it actually gets
tested and/or adopted on a wide scale.
