First, many users reported depends on Oniguruma and mbregex. For example, Phiki https://github.com/phikiphp/phiki users reported. https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/19258#issuecomment-3249570139 In Wikipedia, we can see many depends on Oniguruma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oniguruma Second, FreeBSD supports end Oniguruma in Dec 2026(this year). https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/19258#issuecomment-3506659061 Therefore, FreeBSD can't compile mbregex after Dec 2026. I want to avoid it. > > Been 10 year since I was involved with a system reliant on Windows-1252, and the first > > thing I did after getting hired was to convert it to UTF-8 This point is good perspective, Not opensource products maybe depends mbregex in old codes. It is maintenance very long time.(My company products depends mbregex) So I want to maintenance Oniguruma and mbregex other way. My solution(mb_onig) is one way.
