Thanks, Nikita! I'm generally in favor of such clean up. The only exception would be features which have only been available as of PHP 7, currently only assertion expressions. Deprecating assertion strings as of PHP 7.2 would make it hard to provide PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.2 compatible code, even though 7.2 GA is supposed to be released in December 2017, whereas there'll be security support for 5.6 until end of 2018[1].
