My worries about some of them listed are about the barrier to apply any kind of non trivial fixes and the use of this extension. For firebird, it is slightly less of a pain because the Firebird DB is relatively easy to setup while being a real niche server. Oracle, Sqlserver are easier cases. My feeling is that they are better in pecl, giving the maintainers more freedom to fix, improve, release, etc than being in the core while it can reduce the workload and overall quality in the core in the development phase. In any case, just like a couple of discussions lately, it is a taste matter. Imap or mcrypt, both dead cows, should go away. Let wait the required delay and move to vote. The sooner we take a decision the better. Cheers, Pierre
