It is a bit of work to support php's stream upstream. I wanted to do it back then but it was simply easier to patch the bundled version. To support stream it would need something like what we do in libgd or something along this line, so we can pass our own handles and ops. > It's always a security nightmare to have various copies of libraries > at various places of the system. I totally agree but not always possible. Same problem with the timezone, users experience matters more too as everyone gets on the same line/stage with a given PHP release and avoids many data related issues.
