Personally I am fine with adding aliases to ext/intl, it is not because the extension is a wrapper that we can't enhance it to be somewhat consistent. However, I do agree that deprecating the existing constants is a bad idea. But the RFC vote, as far as I can understand, is not about deprecating it in this release. Best regards, Gina P. Banyard
