I propose we add some new entities for deprecated/unmaintained/etc extensions that can be used to advertise on each manual page, like functions, setup, ... But this is a large task, going over every extension in phpdoc/reference/ and adding them is a huge task. But as an (ex) maintainer of APC, I can confirm that APC's development is ceased like I stated in the bug report you have linked to in the Wfx APC bugs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-05-11 16:59:26] cmb@php.net Related To: Bug #69618 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-03-25 21:40:28] cmb@php.net Description: ------------ The documentation doesn't clarify the status of APC. It seems that APC has been superseeded by OPcache (resp. APCU and the session upload progress API), but that is neither mentioned on the manual page[1], nor in the relevant migration guides[2], nor on the PECL page[3].
