Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Disable PHAR by default
From: helly@php.net (Marcus Boerger)

Hello Jani,

  we're in alpha and fix all of those issues.

  in contrast to 99.9% of our users it is very easy for you to disable it.
But the majority will only get the extension when we enable by default. And
it is one of the big plans for 5.3 to finally support native packaging to
make a lot of things easier. Once again if you don't like it, just disable
it like you configure any of your installations specifically for your
needs - others cannot.
