Yes, to me the question is only if we want to give the message that software producers should be able to expect phar to be there on 99% of the systems. Thats the only way that phar has a good chance of really taking off as a php code distribution approach.
It sounds like the merits of having phar is would only be apparent after it is included in the core and everyone starts using it because of that. This won't happen simply because most software producers can't rely on extensions that are only available in version X. Ilia Alshanetsky
