There is no reason to have PHP_Archive in a phar. No need whatsoever... it would be a waste of space! Not having the extension would lead to
Yes, the whole whopping 20K of space uncompressed and with comments, so could be probably 10K or less without comments, whitespace and minimized for extraction. Serious waste of bandwidth worth discussing.
a situation where practically every phar would have to include the PHP_Archive.Which would be suboptimal.
That would be suboptimal if we suppose everybody uses phar archives. Since it is not the case and most apps would neither run in phars nor require to be run from phars without extraction, optimizing PHP for use in these use cases in not necessary.
