In general I'd tend to drop stuff from PHP instead of adding it. We ship quite a few extensions where I claim that we don't do any testing and little maintenance. I would reduce the distribution size and include things we consider "core PHP" and enable these by default in the hope that gives developers a clear guidance and what they should be able to expect. (hoping we can convince distributors to have the same things in their "PHP" meta packages) But that's nothing for 5.4 but for 5.5. Anybody wants to write an RFC by chance?:-)
Since most of the linux distributors already strip the extra packages and ship them self contained in their own packages it IS about time that the non-essential extensions were kept separate from the core, so a move to a more modular management system is overdue? We can then simply select what we want to include with the core rather than the current method of simply ignoring the unused extensions?
APC is optional ... like many other extensions ... so only needs to be supplied as an option anyway.
