It is utterly unreasonable to expect to change what is or isn't bundled in
a project because you managed host of choice is afraid of breaking
something.
Also, as it has been said before, just because something is bundled it
doesn't mean that your managed host of choice won't disable it during
compile time.
Find a host that lets you control your PHP installation the way you need
it. Not the other way around.
