Having bundled the MySQL library made it easier for people to get started with MySQL. Does that mean I think every library should be bundled with PHP? No, I don't. But if libxml2 is a moving target and it's hard to stay in sync then it certainly sounds beneficial to take away this headache from our users. It also means that other XML based extensions could use it by default. Of course it also depends how big it is. If we can strip it down a lot I'd be a +1. If it'd add 1 MB to our .tar.gz I would be against. THe normal source distribution is almost 2 MB...In that case I'm against :) Andi
