Arguments like these make me increasingly convinced that PhpFeatures should
just ship in normal PHP, without a separate distro.
Sandboxing offers all the needed security requirements, ensuring shared
host adoption while allowing frameworks to rely on feature extensions
shipped in normal PHP.

Companies may or may not use those features, it is up to them.
What is important is that environments *allow* the usage of feature
extensions.
