Honestly, I don't know if it would be popular enough on its own. Now the 
plPerlNG that Andrew
and us are working, yes but plPHP? It is nifty, it is cool, it is very 
capable but it is still PHP.

I think the point of having it in core is that the three most popular 
user space languages are:

Python
Perl
PHP

If those are covered within core under the pl* then we have all bases 
covered.

I am not saying that it should be in core (although I definately think 
plPerlNG should be). This all
started because it was suggested it could be :)
