In any case - a hardcoded 0777 isn't logical, apart from being less safe.

    It makes totally sense because it only relies on the umask()

    Well, maybe I need to explain why 0777 _is_ logical (I
    thought people here know unix). It's the default value for
    the mkdir command, for perl, and for python because it makes
    sense to only rely on the umask() setting.

    So, why not have it too? Because PHP is none of the mentioned
    above ? Come on.

    I'm not discussing whether to add another INI switch (this is
    totally out of scope and belongs to something else, but not
    here).

    Anyone with decent objections?
