I continue to find motivations #1 and #3 utterly bizarre, especially
that "open tags not being compatible with XML" is still being used as a
justification.
That said, the depreciation and removal process looks solid, with the
exception of complete removal in PHP 8.1.
I must question if people are really so desperate to use <? in plain
text (for XML?) that it needs to be removed with such haste, especially
as its continued existence at that point would be strictly as a security
feature.
If I may make one suggestion, I see the depreciation message is quite
plain. One would not be stretching the bounds of reasonableness too far
to suggest the creation of a dedicated page on php.net that contains a
description, a link to csfixer etc, and then that link be included in
the depreciation message itself.
