I like this change, but the deprecation in 8.2 seems too disruptive. I’d rather promote our intent to deprecate this with a statement in the manual that says something like, “This feature will be deprecated in PHP 8.3 and removed in 9.0.” Meanwhile, 8.2 should include the AllowDynamicProperties attribute so folks can start preparing.
