The selection of default modules seems to have been made by someone who isn't setting up a FAMP server. Because of the diversity of uses there probably shouldn't be any extensions installed by default, but *all* of them should be on the menu rather than having to hunt any of them down. And I haven't used the "replacement" for mcrypt yet, and suspect that it's not actually in any way a drop-in replacement, but there's probably nothing to be done about that now. > >> Looking at the supported versions page, I would expect the change be made to 7.2.
