Unnecessary extensions ...

With the discussion on adding http extension by default and not now
having other key extensions in a normal build I'm looking at what I NEED
and what I can get away without. On the current PHP7 test build I do not
have mysqlnd installed as I don't use mysql, but I can't make the mysql
section available in a second php-fpm instance becuase I can't add
mysqlnd as a shared module.

Just to clarify that bit: enabling ext/http by default wouldn’t mean it’s not possible to disable it.

An extension enabled by default, does not implicitly mean it cannot be disabled, like standard or spl.

I see no reason
why those who want 'strict' can't have that as a pecl module to replace
'lax' operations.

Simple, the most robust implementation is inferior to internal support.

Making a call to this:

function (int $some, double $other) {

}

behave as if Zend is strict is quite easy, what is difficult is:

class Foo {
public function bar(int $some) {

}

}

class Qux extends Foo {
public function bar(double $some) {

}

}

Enforcing our current rules is so hard you might as well call it impossible.

TL;DR because internal support is much much much better, in every possible
way

Even if you managed it, it would not be robust, in any reasonable opinion.

Just what is the current state on what is 'required' and what is still
optional. I will return to banging on about breaking up php-src so that
one CAN get away with building individual modules and I see no reason
why those who want 'strict' can't have that as a pecl module to replace
'lax' operations.
