I've voted against the deprecation of the $crypto_strong param. IMHO we
should just document that it is guaranteed to always be true if the call
succeeds and checking it is not necessary. But we should not penalize
existing code that is checking the flag -- it may no longer necessary
nowadays, but previously that was the correct use of the function.
