Hi,
As listed in my original thread, I think that offering posix_times
without offering sysconf would be like offering a version of the
microtime function, which returns a value divided by a *undocumented and
unexposed divider that changes in each patch version of PHP*.
The main reason I would like to see this deprecated is not the fact that
it's returning a less precise value compared to getrusage, but rather
because it's returning a value that cannot be interpreted in any way
from pure PHP.
Regards,
Daniil Gentili.

I would like to submit an RFC (and related PR) to deprecate posix_times for PHP
8.4, removing it for PHP 9.
My question here would be: Is there sufficient reason to remove this function
and introduce a BC break, i.e. is the implementation code hard to maintain or
does the function cause security issues?
Unless that is the case I'd leave it unchanged and just add a note to the
documentation that people might want to consider using getrusage() instead.
