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.

I'm very aware of the PECL issues and that's irrelevant in this current poll.

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.

The discussions to move it out never took place either, that's also a problem. Also consider this version as a complete new package, it fits in your definition. --Pierre
