Sorry if this was suggested already but if those are not maintained
much and should not be used further ideally, shouldn't we add
E_DEPRECATED to them at least?
I understand that they are kept to avoid making the upgrade path
harsher, but it's also not great to let they linger on forever with no
notice to users that they are doing something wrong.
I guess that's a discussion that can be had on a case-by-case basis, now
we've bulk-voted the easy cases out of the way.
Deprecation only really makes sense if there is a clear upgrade path for
users, or a specific message to give them. For instance, I'm currently
using PDO_DBLIB, and had no idea I was "doing something wrong", or what
I should be doing instead. And many people have already pointed out that
ext/mcrypt needs some special thought, so just slapping a deprecation
notice somewhere isn't really that useful.
