This was resolved in PHP 7.4.
So yes it did get fixed, I remember the discussion I had with Nikita when 
submitting PRs to remove them in 8.0 that the one minor version might not have 
been long enough due to the confusion around those INI settings.
As it has now been over 5 years it is, IMHO, safe to remove them for the next 
version.
