I don't agree on the "old extensions" part, for example "yaz", "dotnet" or "notes". > > Moving less maintained and less important modules to PECL might be a good > idea as soon as PECL is ready to be THE distribution on any platform. Until > that is reached PECL development or planning shouldn't harm php development. Having exif not enabled by default doesn't harm development at all. If people want exif, they can enable it just fine. Adding more 'bloat' (this has nothing to do with the usefulness) to the default compilation is not a good thing, for example we could have enabled sockets, sysvshm, sysvsem... too by default.
