Hello Internals, Johannes, Lukas,

  how about moving ext/dbase to PECL, it is absolutely not a widespread ext
and SQLite stuff has prooven to take over local, single file databases pretty
much.

Given the recent discussion on extensions. From my point of viewe there are
two options:

1) Move everything that can be disabled to PECL. This renders the resulting
PHP pretty much useless for allmost everyone and thus forces people to
start using PECL and distributors even more to carefully select. In the
long run this is the way to go anyway and was discussed as such many times
already. Also any ext that moves to PECL should be enabled by default in
PECL of course. A reason to do that move right now would be the approaching
of SVN and the opportunity to go with a clean code layout.

2) We might not really be ready for one and continue doing as we've always
done. Select a nice collection of extension that aims to make the majority
of our userbase happy. And suggest defaults this way whether or not they
are enabled by default. The default enabled exts are just a stronger
suggesttion that we think people should be able to rely on.

Best regards,
 Marcus
