already. Also any ext that moves to PECL should be enabled by

PECL of course. A reason to do that move right now would be the

of SVN and the opportunity to go with a clean code layout.
Just to make it clear for me, you are talking about the mid-to-long
term.
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.
Well this is indeed an entirely different model if we would go with
1). I presume we could offer a "recommended" list maybe. I also assume
that this would shift things towards the linux distros similar to how
things are with the linux kernel. Anyways the first thing is to have
the distribution of PECL packages rock solid. So imho lets wait and
see how pyrus pans out. That being said, PHP 6 would be the best point
in time if we ever want to do this for the next half decade.
