Hey,
I hereby propose to deprecate uniqid(). There have been attempts to fix it (
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniqid), but those were
rejected during
discussion, because there's no possible fix without breaking BC. Instead of
a subtle BC break, this RFC favors the deprecation and moving users to
other functions.
It's to be discussed whether the function should be removed with PHP 8.0 or
just deprecated to avoid fully breaking things where it's not strictly
necessary. A deprecation will probably avoid most new usages, which is the
main goal.

Kind Regards,
Niklas
