Our policy is to only include modules that exists. Why doesn't the modules you want to use exist?
Some modules which are in core now didn't exist before they were written, isn't? :)
Because it isn't as widely used as you think. At least no one has missed it enough during the last almost ten years to bother implement it.
Following this logic, most software wouldn't be written :) Well, the PCRE module did'n exist some time ago. I needed it so I wrote my own, and folks from Caudium wrote their own too. We now have even Bz2 module, but again, it didn't exist once. So what? :) Why bother to write new modules if everything (what you think is needed) is already implemented? :)
