Re: libxml bundling

Did you conduct a survey about that? I believe there's at least one company that effectively proved that the opposite is true, there are probably many others. I don't see a problem in having core technologies enabled by default. Purists can turn them off, but there are a hell of a lot more average users than there are purists. That said, XML is the ASCII of this age, which makes it more important to enable than any of the other modules that you mentioned. Zeev At 03:08 AM 6/1/2002, derick@php.net wrote:

ODBC is very important too, and of course also encryption, so we need mcrypt and mhash, or the very important FTP and PGSQL extensions. No seriously, I don't think we should enable more things by default. I even don't see any reason to enable the mbstring module, as only the japanese/koreans / other multibyte language really need this. Enabling things by default tend to annoy sysadmins who want full control of their install.
