I do not think enabling openssl by default is a good thing, as it states now. We use not to ebable extension by default, if it is meant as must be configured, if there are external dependencies. ext/openssl and openssl are also not the state of the art from an APIs point of view (diplomatically said), both in userland and internally. There are some on going work to provide better interfaces in userland (I can't find it back, but it was discussed here or on pecl-dev :). Cheers, Pierre
