I tried to get PHPDocumentator but the website is down for days.
I find it strange that the server of such an important tool does not
get more attention.

Or is there an alternative i missed.

How important is PHPDocumentator? And why is it not added to the
standard php distribution?

Yes, it seems to be down.
I suppose that you can find it here: http://pear.php.net/package/PhpDocumentor

It's not possible to Include EVERYTHING that you thing is useful within php,
you can always add things by yourself and create your own packages including
wathever you need, even recompile php itself and integrate pecl extensions.
So it's up to you to create something that will satisfy entirely your needs.
For example a good thing for debugging php is xdebug but it doesn't mean that MUST
be included in php. We should also think about the fact that most projects are mad by third
parties and could not always be included in the main projects and It's better to have a slim
version of php that we can amplify via pecl modules and/or php classes/frameworks/etc.

The standard php distribution is good as is, maybe we can suggest what could be useless :) and removed
from the main distribution.

In any case there are different opinions regarding those arguments and there's no a real solution
and in most case things are added if the developers receive alot of requests from the users or if
there are commercial/marketing/diffusion incentives, for example the mysql (and other dbms) support in php have been a good choice for the diffusion of php.
