Hi!
It is clearer but it is not a problem. New features may introduce new
dependencies. Having a dependency on libicu while we introduce intl
and other features related to unicode or i18n. I would agree if we
were talking about 5.2.x.
pecl/intl is an extension, there's no surprise that you need
external library when you enable extension. However, adding
dependency in core that you can not rid of has a lot of consequences
(think distributions, builds on non-Linux systems, etc., etc.).

It's just a build dependency, right? And one that's already required
if you want to generate all the internal parsers by hand as part of
your build. If it's really that huge a concern you could ship a
precompiled scanner/lexer.
