I believe the RFC already addresses the question, and I agree with the reasoning where. Unlike the move of wddx to PECL, which was partially made because we had specific security concerns with the extension, our primary concern here is maintenance. There does not seem to be a strong need to signal that people should stop using it ASAP. The extension (and more importantly, the underlying library) has been unmaintained for many years already and the move to PECL will not change things materially in that regard. Nikita
