I suggest to deprecated the functions md5_file() and sha1_file(). This will

It won't.
At best it will make people switch to the hash function. At worst people
will not upgrade.
If people are using the existing md5 / sha1 algorithms, chances are it's
because they're actually wanting to get a hash to compare to something
that has already been stored.
There's not much point in deprecating the algorithm if we don't
eventually plan to remove it, and there is an exactly zero percent
chance of it being removed at any point in the next 50 years.
