Hey all,

Following a brief chat in IRC, I've proposed[0] adding curl to the list of
PHP extensions required by MediaWiki, and Chad thought it'd be a good idea
to get wider thoughts before merging.

Right now we have some features that require curl (it's probably the #2
issue third parties have with installing VisualEditor, for instance, after
mis-matched versions).

We already require mbstring (as discussed in March) alongside xml, ctype,
json, and iconv. If you have an opinion, please weigh in on the task.[1]
