I see it more as 'crucial' than as 'a great thing'. The point of the 
installer is that it has a means of determining status... this is something 
that can't be addressed in a big zip archive containing every PECL extension 
that will compile against a given PHP branch. Once we have that, it becomes 
sensible to talk about shipping 'recommended modules' in a single (much 
smaller) zip at the point of release. And _then_ we can talk about moving 
all non-essential items out of core.
