Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] SPL & PCRE as always enabled in core
From: stas@zend.com (Stanislav Malyshev)

Well, theoretically I can imagine reason why somebody would like to 
disable them - e.g., if I need super-high-performance server and I 
absolutely must squeeze out every last bit of cpu/memory usage _and_ I 
don't do neither SPL nor regular expressions - I might want to disable it.
In any case, I see the reasons why we *want* it enabled. But I'd like to 
hear any reasons why we *need* it enabled - i.e. any vital stuff that 
can't work with SPL/PCRE disabled?
