Well that brings up another paradigm of course, which would be
popularity. If I recall, plPHP was actually considered to be put into
core but it can't be because it was a circular dependency.

(You have to have the PHP source to make plPHP, that is not the case
with plPerl or plPython).

To be honest I hadn't even thought about plPHP because oddly enough
plPerlNG is more popular.
