Sure, but almost all of the core extensions return PHP_VERSION anyway
(thanks to Peter K.) and the information is still available with echo
(new ReflectionExtension('extensionname'))->getVersion(); and I doubt
there is a massive usage so the impact is very minimal and therefore I
believe its a fair compromise.
