So according to you every single extension should be put bundled and 
installed by default?
If not, then someone has to draw the line and decide which ones are 
treated as "first class" and that's exactly what people (e.g. Derick) 
are doing here: They decided against bundling libmcrypt.

I'm sure if there's a major uproar about an extension being mandatory 
for the next killer application then they'll reconsider. But for now it 
seems that encryption functionality a la mcrypt hasn't been in high 
enough demand.
