Also, for new installs, doesn't the installer offer you to enable extensions that are already included in the extensions folder?

Sam, thank you for your comments. You've inspired me to clarify my original feature request.
Dear all:
The installer should check the "I want ParserFunctions" checkbox by default.
If someone doesn't want the extension, they can uncheck the checkbox.

Any good reasons to change the current default of not enabling it?

FYI, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Suggestions_for_extensions_to_be_integrated is the page where discussion should happen if you wanted them to be merged to core (which doesn't seem to be the case though).
