1. It is just too extensive. Not only does it have its own loadable extensions, but also its own documentation and web modules.

Those who need PHP-GTK can get it easily, those who don't won't be burdened by a huge extension in their source tree.
3. It is on a completely different release cycle from PHP. Actually, most of the extensions in ext/ directory will be moved out to PECL/PEAR soon. But PEAR is inside PHP 4 module!Because that's how it started out. PEAR now has its own /pear module and almost all classes will be moved to it, with the exception of core ones, like PEAR and PEAR_Installer.
Ask them. The fact is they only distribute modules that are part of PHP.That's because there hasn't been an extension like PHP-GTK yet. -Andrei
