As far as I can see there are very few extension that are really needed

the core, the main problem comes from distributions changing the methods
that PECL works or the core works
e.g.
Ubuntu you need to install the -dev version in order for extension to be
compiled/installed
Gentoo you need to either write your own ebuild for a pecl extension,
hope
one exists, or go through lots of hoops to get them to work
Both have many "popular" PECL modules available.
If there is a stable version upstream, I add and maintain ebuilds for
pretty much every PECL package that is requested on bugs.gentoo.org.
Creating your own ebuild is also often as difficult as copying and
renaming an existing PECL package.
Also, since PEAR_PEAR-1.9.2-r2 you should be able to just use pecl. Of
course, if you do this, you have to make sure your system remains sane.
As the maintainer of PHP on Gentoo, I prefer extensions in pecl over being
bundled with php.
