Thanks for noticing.
Worth noticing that only the Phonetics::metaphone function use php's
metaphone(). Also, that function is barely a bridge for applying
existent functions of PHP. All other advanced algorithms ain't affected
by the metaphone deprecation.
My point in deprecating it is to stop using ancient metaphone algo as a whole.
And Linguistics offers loads of implementation. So this is still a replacement.
However, I do see the reason to make this clear in the RFC text.
I also forward this to Nora.
