so this is an aggregated mail to involve everyone mentioned in the sources as maintainers of the corresponding parts. The initial RFC is here https://wiki.php.net/rfc/removal_of_dead_sapis_and_exts and it's about handling yet not done stuff for PHP7. Additionally, it is suggested to handle these parts https://wiki.php.net/phpng#unsupported_extensions_not_converted_yet . The goal is to concentrate better on things really relevant for PHP7, that will also ease the porting efforts for new RFCs. At this point it's probably not late to port some stuff to PHP7 yet, but the general suggestion is to either remove or move to PECL. That's why we need responses about what the original maintainers are intended to do.
