> The only solution I can think of is to keep the deprecation in place until PHP 10, but that's a very long time from now and the RFC says this simplifies a decent amount of engine code, so I'm not wild about that idea.
Another solution is to have version 8.5. Also given the fact that much of the deprecated code will be removed in PHP 9.0, maybe it's worth discussing how long should be period between 9 and 10? Kind regards, Jorg Sowa
