I don't remember seeing a discussion on including Zip in core (perhaps I
just missed it, but a quick search didn't turn it up). I think Zip is
better suited as a PECL module.
Tony mentioned another issue: the headache of maintaining PECL code
between PHP versions. This is a valid point (and he can elaborate if he
likes), but is a separate issue.
IMO, core shouldn't grow for modules like this (and JSON -- but the JSON
discussion certainly DID take place and the module seems tiny enough to
be benign); the idea is to move non-essential modules OUT of the main
distribution and into PECL, not the other way.
