Yes, to me the question is only if we want to give the message that
software producers should be able to expect phar to be there on 99% of
the systems. Thats the only way that phar has a good chance of really
taking off as a php code distribution approach.
It sounds like the merits of having phar is would only be apparent after
it is included in the core and everyone starts using it because of that.
This won't happen simply because most software producers can't rely on
extensions that are only available in version X.
No, the point is that if we want to push something, we need to add it
sooner rather than later, because there will be a delay anyways. Also
simply by putting it into core, we make sure that phar gets into the
long terms plans of users (which are then more likely to accept the
transition pain, because they know its going to be around and maintained).
