Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:8 TimothyBlynJacobs]:
 > What does making the extension require look like for servers that don't
 currently have mbstring installed? Do we have the technology to ensure
 they stay on 6.0.x? Is it that they'll see the 6.1 update as available,
 but if they try to update to it, they'll get an error message?

 Not at this time, see comment:1. We should check for the required PHP
 extensions both during installation and updates, similar to how we check
 for the required PHP and MySQL versions. I have created #56017 for that.
