Definitely NAK on deprecating properties, which has the potential of 
adding lots of overhead.

FWIW: Deprecating properties is already possibly by means of deprecating 
a property hook. I guess this is an acceptable workaround to not require 
a dedicated support + associated complexity.

see: https://3v4l.org/C6jRQ

    class Foo
    {
        public string $foo
        {
            #[\Deprecated]
            get {
                return $this->foo;
            }

            #[\Deprecated]
            set {
                $this->foo = $value;
            }
        }
    }

    $f = new Foo();
    $f->foo = 'dummy';
    var_dump($f->foo);
