I don't think there's any strong reason to deprecate any of these in PHP 8.0 in particular, as we'll only be able to drop them in PHP 9.0 anyway. Anyone else have thoughts on that? We do already have a couple of deprecation in PHP 8.0, but those are generally directly related to some change that happened in PHP 8.0 in particular. Regards, Nikita
