What's wrong with dl?

Our CLI module installer uses dl() to manually load the module and validate some basic functionality. This is a very nice feature and I'm disappointed to see it has been deprecated. Will there be any equivalent functionality moving forward? The extension directive is clumsey in this scenario because it would require running a separate script. Mike

dl() is scheduled to be removed from all other SAPI's. I believe that there are no current plans to deprecate it from the CLI version of PHP. Edin

Aroo?! You mean the .so files I compile and install on my shared hosting and use dl() to load in on an as-needed basis are screwed?! Dang! I trust there is good reason for this?... I've got several applications in production that will be dead in the water due to this. I can't be the only one...
