Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Disable PHAR by default
From: jani.taskinen@sci.fi (Jani Taskinen)

Top posting since you started it.. :)

Yes, I do disable everything I don't need. You don't need to lecture me 
about that. I was just pointing out that this ext/phar/ seems to do 
things most enabled by default extensions don't do. Like affect the very 
core of PHP. So enabling such by default isn't very good idea IMO..

And this extension was sneaked in core by promising something along the 
lines of 'it will not be enabled by default'...iirc..
