The end result of bundling is now PHP will become responsible for keeping upto date snapshots of libxml. If a really scary bug is found in the library, it now becomes PHP's job to ensure that all new downloads use it. Is it really our job to ensure system security? Or are we mearly trying to provide an interface to an established set of functionality found on the system? Couldn't agree more.
