Hi,
after discussion with Brian Aker about problems with number precision in
financial applications and thinking about the impact of "Enterprise" I'm
wondering that bcmath is not enabled by default.
Is there a reason for it? if not I'm strongly +1 to enable it by default.

Majority of PHP application and hence users do not require this extension.
Those who do, in most cases operate in an environment where they have full
control over their PHP configuration and thus will be able to enable this
extension on demand.
-1.

+1 here.
Another good reason is to check the bug reports where "bogus->Use
bcmath" has been applied.

Hi,
before this thread moves out of sight, here's a sum up.
Let's see if we can go on from here or drop the idea.
Georg: +1 ("enterpriseness" of PHP)
Sebastian: +1 (is default on Win for ages)
Pierre: +1 (reduces bug reports)
Andi: +0 (if I got him right)
Marcus: +0
Sara: -0 (not everyone needs it)
Ilia: -1 (not everyone needs it)
Stefan Walk: +1 for GMP (GMP's superior)
Stas: +0/+1 for GMP
Any more opinions on this? :)
From the raw count, the list is pro enabling it by default.
Regards,
Jan

I'm -1 here, we should not bloat default installs with this.

Just a note - I'm not in favour of installing GMP (or BC) by default, i
just stated that it has better features (and that it's not available on
windows).

Whoops, sorry. I got that wrong. But anyway, that vote seems clear now.
Thank you all for your patience ;)

Yes, not too much votes, which is understandable: people are more interested
to have a progressbar for uploads than to support basic things like precision
be default.

+1 from me... (you must have wondered at which point the personality
switch will take place, eh? :)
