-0.

I would rather move more extensions from core to PECL, than from PECL to core.
But to make it possible we need at least to make PECL version aware, so maintainers can 
release packages for different PHP versions without having to use thousands of #ifdef's.

So I'm basically against it, but I can live with this as long as the package is actively maintained.
