It's also not that the subjects would be erased from existence, they'll be moved to a separate branch, that's all. Furthermore, they're available for a while in the lower branches (non PHP7 ported, so almost the same state). And anyone interested is free to resurrect something or put into PECL.

However that obviously wouldn't help us to find maintainers for that stuff. On the other hand - it would really bring PHP7 forward getting rid of things where everyone agrees. As not having to do --disable-all all the time is a certain plus. One needs not much time to check that. I'd really suggest to put a "yes" or "no" at this point and have it done. Whereby some "no" from an active developer in this case IMHO would mean not just "no, that should stay in the core", but "yes, i'll help to port and maintain it". However nobody is forced to mean or guarantee that, just that at the end we can end up with some non ported pieces of core. IMHO we should kick out what obviously doesn't fit anymore and move forward, as the PHP7 deadline is quite tight.
