Only commonly used core things are regularly tested. We have plenty of core SAPIs, for example, that haven't been compiled in years and likely don't work at all. The same goes for pecl. Commonly used pecl extensions tend to work well, but the fringe stuff, like gdchart, which I wrote, by the way, gets very little attention. -Rasmus
