As announced last week I've opened the vote for the 8.6 mass

As things currently stand, projects that rely on this functionality
(notably symfony/http-client and php-http/message) will start triggering
deprecation notices in PHP 8.6. There are no plans to expose the
underlying behaviour in an alternative way, despite this concern being
raised during the discussion period.
I believe we should provide such an alternative together with the
deprecation, rather than expecting projects with 200M+ installations to
"find an alternative, such as decoding it using code written in PHP".
My 2c.
