No one was considering any such move. Having pecl/intl shipped per default
as symlinked into ext would be as much optional as --enable-zend-multibyte
or --enable-mbstring are right now. This will be more like brining in zip
to 5.2. However it is completely off-topic as it is just one possible cause
of action while the other is to stick with mbstring.


Best regards,
 Marcus
