.. and (again) let me be clear: PHP_Archive-based phar archives will no longer work once allow_url_include is off and user streams wrappers are marked as remote. So, it won't work with 100% of new installations in future PHP versions. Without phar, the entire concept that the phar:// stream wrapper is based upon ceases to be a possibility for wide distribution. So, yes, this will require the Phar extension or simply cease to exist as a possibility in the near future.
