Huge +1 to that. Given the existence of preg_replace_callback() (as Stas noted above), my preference is for deprecation and then removal, but I think the overriding goal should be not introducing any more configuration dependent behaviour — I'd rather be actively trying to kill some of that than ushering more in.
