However, the benefits should outweigh the costs. If something is getting unmaintainable, no longer supported, inherently insecure etc, those are all good reasons. password_hash as mentioned was a great addition, and should/did solve this very issue. Even someone reading a blog tutorial from 11 years ago would be able to see this used properly. But md5/sha1 are not bad functions, they do *exactly* what they say on the box. Being able to do the exact same thing by spelling the function slightly differently isn't even deprecating them, just deprecating an alias. They're only *bad* if used in a *bad way*, and that to me is not enough of a reason. Thanks, Peter
