I'm not sure how it makes sense - people changing the engine had to
modify SPL or libxml or SOAP extension, for example - so now SOAP is
part of the engine? Since engine is underlying API, if you modify the

Again, by this logic everything is the engine - if you didn't look at
how PDO works and changed the engine in a way that broke PDO - it's bad,
so by that logic PDO is the engine. And so is pretty much any extension
