Update: it looks like nearly all the Symfony usages have already been fixed for Symfony 8. I re-downloaded and analyzed the top 1500 packages again this afternoon, and now there are a total of 159 `__sleep` methods and 207 `__wakeup` methods in 65 distinct packages, a significant drop from when I did the analysis yesterday. 107 of the methods are empty, and 65 only contain a single throw statement. Over 62% of the remaining methods exist in just 9 packages: * doctrine\orm - 14 * drupal\core - 36 * johnpbloch\wordpress-core - 6 * laminas\laminas-server - 7 * maatwebsite\excel - 7 * magento\zend-db - 6 * pdepend\pdepend - 32 * swiftmailer\swiftmailer - 7 * typo3\cms-extbase - 6 I updated the above gist and Google Sheet links with the data from today. Kind regards, Theodore
