Hello Hannes, I think it’s a reasonable addition, and it does include a status_header(404) call. There have been several bug reports for these missing documents so the idea is to give users what they want and for us to deal with fewer bogus bug reports. The link was updated to the correct github page. Do you really think people will be angry that php.net/amqp won’t work a year or so from now? Maybe a landing page for all such changes would be better? It could list big changes like amqp, smarty, domxml, and so on, along with links to their new homes (or include explanations on why they are now homeless). Sounds like that could work better.
