Hey internals! I haven't written the RFC yet,

Please don't forget to include in the RFC a justification for why this should be part of PHP core, rather than a library

because as developer in reality you can not use and rely on features which needs to install some pecl-library when it is supposed to be used on typical hosting packages

It doesn't have to be a PECL library. I agree that a project requiring a PECL library greatly limits its potential reach, but with Composer user-space libraries are totally easy to install. There's a nice and popular UUID implementation already

frankly get out of my sight with composer i maintain the whole webstacke for many years at my own (rpm packages) and so the Fedora repos have excluded anything relevant to PHP - trying to build composer by just download the src.rpm ends in a ton of build dependencies, bootsrap stuff because of cyclic dependencies, frameworks nobody needs and wants in environments where 3rd party code is discouraged because it becomes a problem sooner or later in case of upgrades and so composer is just a red flag for me until a PHP build spits out a /usr/bin/composer binary which is self contained
