I have no insight into Debian/Ubuntu's reasoning, but I think a factor is that sometimes you want stuff only in some SAPI. Obviously readline and pcntl are not good in apache sapis. (well and after those my examples end and those could also be handled by the packaging system ...) and I thnk the logic follows their way of handling i.e. apache modules which have to be enabled a2enmod/a2dismod. Anyways, the feature in this way has little use in current vanilla PHP and is more a topic for when we revamp the pecl/extension handling. johannes
