Because distros only have to concern about themselves. PHP has to
concern about cross-system-compatibility.
Besides the specific exec functions it might be a good idea to make
PHP as OS and distribution independent as possible. It only takes a
few dependencies to wreck a whole "independent" language.
I wouldn't like to see php projects have to create different packages
with individual code for different types of os or distribution.
