    It is this time of year again where we proposed a list of deprecations to add in PHP 8.6:

    https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_6

    Unfortunately none of the proposals contain a proper impact analysis.

For the *return-in-finally deprecation*, I did run an impact analysis. I just kept it out of the RFC entry itself, partly to keep the entry short, partly because I'd already shared the core of it in my original pre-RFC message on this list (https://externals.io/message/131393#131393 - which lists all 12 affected sites), and partly because I hadn't gotten around to reposting it in this thread yet. ... The full write-up, with the per-site breakdown and the script to reproduce it, is here: https://github.com/aldemeery/php-rfcs/tree/master/deprecate-return-in-finally Thanks Osama! And yes, I remember you posting those impact analysis results to the list. I believe it would be good to include that summary in the RFC text. Would make your proposal the (positive) exception to the rule ;-) Smile, Juliette
