Related to this on a non-PHP-code and strategic matter I would like to rethink PECL. Currently maintenance and installing extensions using it is a pita. This should be doable in a nicer way.

Is it worthwhile to also consider some form of safe runtime registration of extensions (or extension-like whatever that looks like in a JIT model).. A la dl()? I realize in today's age of containerized projects (1 php install per project, everything owned by root per-se) makes PHP with esoteric extensions much easier, it still would be nice if I could composer install a specific version of an extension; like xdebug in a require-dev, or require one of the new kafka extensions at the project level. -ralph
