Kris, Don't get this the wrong way, but $_GET and $_POST are not going to be deprecated. Whether or not we need $_PUT or $_DELETE is a separate, independent question from the axiom that $_GET and $_POST are here to stay. Personally, I don't think they make sense as Rasmus pointed out that $_GET and $_POST were never about HTTP methods but form methods, and there's really nothing missing from PHP today to enable successful & easy implementation of RESTful interfaces.
