We dropped many extensions abandonment libraries in the past.

But seems many uses it. https://github.com/search?q=mb_ereg+language%3APHP&type=code&l=PHP Anyway, I agree simple regex engine, Only PCRE. Jakub > Well bundling effectively means that PHP teams is responsible for fixing (at least the > security) issues. Yes, that's right. Therefore, I said ambiguous my position(drop support mbregex or still support in re-include Oniguruma). However, I want to support PCRE and drop support mbregex.
