In the RFC:

"Removal from core: The following major/minor version (7.2.0 or 8.0.0)"

and then

"Vote “Yes” to raise an E_DEPRECATED notice in PHP 7.1 when any mcrypt
function is used and to remove the extension from core in 7.1+1."

Which one is it? I feel removing at 7.2 would be too soon.  I agree that
the abandonware is a nuisance, but many developers using ext/mcrypt have
no idea of this.  Raising an E_DEPRECATED in the next 7.1.x, then
removing in 7.2 is just too soon.
