Yeah, a matter of symantics.  PHP is thread safe, if you don't add
any of the extensions which are not.  But since the extensions are
what make it most useful, is it really php without them?

Technically you are correct.

Or you provide a thread-safe interface between then.

Which is good.  It is good to toss out suggestions.  Just be prepared for
the response to your suggestions, which can range from a firm no, to a
patch request from you, to resounding agreement with your suggestion. :)

I certainly don't want to stop suggestions.  While we don't use all of
them, we certainly do use many of them, and others spark conversation that
ultimately helps the project.  But sometimes they do get shot down...

Completely agree.  Please keep the suggestions coming. ;)
