I think the conclusion was that we should include it (that's btw. a
thought since the beginning of PHP 6) but anytime it was discussed it
was premature.


In general I'd tend to drop stuff from PHP instead of adding it. We ship
quite a few extensions where I claim that we don't do any testing and
little maintenance. I would reduce the distribution size and include
things we consider "core PHP" and enable these by default in the hope
that gives developers a clear guidance and what they should be able to
expect. (hoping we can convince distributors to have the same things in
their "PHP" meta packages) But that's nothing for 5.4 but for 5.5.
Anybody wants to write an RFC by chance? :-)
