Yes, having a good feature rich PHP core is important. If an extension
is not enabled by default, implementers of public-ready applications
can't rely on it. Saying that it is "bloat" if more things are enabled
by default isn't really an argument - because the people for whom that
really matters, can very easily use --disable-all.
