I don't think there's still a bug in the docs regarding FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH. See the respective note for the $use_include_path parameter. > - Unbundle the NSAPI Extension (if this is already the case, there is > doc error in the membership state of the extension) as it seems obsolete in > this day and age as it handles Sun/Netscape servers [24] The NSAPI is removed as of PHP 7.0.0, so the docs should be fixed. > - Unbundle the XML-RPC extension as it is considered experimental [25] I wouldn't unbundle ext/xmlrpc because it is documented as being experimental, but rather because nobody really looks after it, we're bundling a modified ancient version of libxmlrpc, and even the upstream libxmlrpc-epi isn't maintained for years.
