Is there any reason to include some extensions in the core, and not others?
I mostly use the win-version, but I have never used the COM or Calender or
bcmath extensions, and this is the first time I used FTP... (and I didn't
RTFM of course :)
I think the opposite should be true, and all modules should be separate from
the core. That way a user _knows_ what functionality is available, by
looking at the list of modules instead of having to look at the list of
modules, the documentation and possibly the php-version-number, who knows
what extensions will be built-in next time (or left out, for that matter).
Cheerio, Marc.
