Not really - some of the extensions will remain in PHP. I believe that the
fact that PHP comes bundled with support for some of the most common Web
environment applications is still a serious factor in its success. It did
get into a situation when there are simply too many not-too-mainstream
extensions in there, though, which makes it very difficult to find a stable
point at time to release it. I wouldn't expect MySQL, Oracle or XML
support to be removed from PHP, though.
