Comment (by mikeschroder):

 The list is not a copy, but from an audit the hosting team did as a group
 some time ago.

 It's an original work from the team, which included one member from
 Pantheon. I'd appreciate not putting it down, though, regardless of who
 put it together.

 In any case, I'm definitely open to going over it again.

 Replying to [comment:8 johnbillion]:
 > Let's bring this back on topic please. BC Math isn't used in core,
 therefore it's a bug to unnecessarily list it as a recommended extension.
 >
 > The list of recommended and required extensions on the Hosting page is
 simply a copy of a list originally published by Pantheon and hasn't been
 vetted or checked for accuracy. It's certainly not a conclusive list that
 core should defer to.
