Comment (by Rarst):

 Note that suggests (unlike requires) take not version, but human-readable
 description of why the thing is suggested
 http://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#suggest Which might take a little
 code auditing rabbit hole to do write up precisely (been there
 http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/42212/847 ).

 Myself I am hesitant to suggest extensions that are functionally
 irrelevant. For example HTTP API works with or without curl, suggestion to
 have it is not important information. I extension listed should be those,
 without which functionality starts to fail. For example I don't think WP
 has extension-less image resize, right?

 Also I think it should also be limited to extensions core actually uses
 natively - object caches, alternate DB drivers and such are implemented by
 extensions.
