Having exif not enabled by default doesn't harm development at all. If people want exif, they can enable it just fine.

Of cause exif doesn't affect php development in any way! I meant here that PECL development must not hurt php development. 
    -1 for enabling any extensions by default..
    Especially this kind of extensions which are not really widely
    used..

Only extensions beein enabled by default will be widely used. You all here are to determined on what you personally want and want to everybody do the same. But most people cannot select any option in their php installation since they depend on what option their hosters enable or not. AND hosters will NOT enable anything not beeing default. So i fear if we move all extensions to PECL php becomes useless. But do what ever you want.
