Is allowing dynamic extension loading dangerous for some reason?

I ask because I need it to include the pecl oauth.so extension to make the Google Adwords PHP SDK work using dl().

I've tried all other alternatives but just can't get it to work:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.dl.php

enable_dl is set to off by default inside my php.ini, I enabled it, restarted apache and it works. If it's safe to use why is it disabled by default? I'm the only user with access to the server and it will be hosting a web application.

Any advice would be helpful!
