+1 - remove the functions
To make a script compatible one has to add
function get_magic_quotes_gpc(){return 0;}
in one of his library files.
I think the current change is somewhat similar to PHP_INI_ALL in PHP ->
PHP_INI_PERDIR for magic_quotes_gpc made in 4.2.3. It also could lead to
breakage but it was done besides the fact that it wasnt a major release (I
guess bugfix for security reasons...).
Now is coming a major release and my opinion is that the deprecated features
must be removed even in the cost of BC breakage.
Probably a general policy on BC breakages in major releases has to be
discussed and then decide on per-case basis.
If there is already such a policy or guidelines please point me to it.
