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.
