It was fat, slow and everything that you can do with POSIX regex you
can easily do with PCRE regex, which is faster.
It is a decision forever. Do not expect it to come on PHP 5.4 (?) or PHP 6.

I just found this out a couple days ago when I checked the ereg manual
page for something and was shocked. I searched around a bit but
couldn't find a straight answer on why this function is being removed?
Did the deprecation notice just get made in 5.3 or has it been there
longer than that?
Just to add... I've found many regular expressions to evaluate an order
of magnitude faster via preg than via ereg. The speed difference is well
worth your time switching to preg.
