Because distros only have to concern about themselves. PHP has to concern about cross-system-compatibility. Besides the specific exec functions it might be a good idea to make PHP as OS and distribution independent as possible. It only takes a few dependencies to wreck a whole "independent" language. I wouldn't like to see php projects have to create different packages with individual code for different types of os or distribution. --=20 - Peter Brodersen
