On a side note in this "official" thread, I added gd and gd2 image related functions to the list. I suppose they don't need a vote, as I don't see them either in the "removed" list. They will effectively not be available in php 9. And GD itself will do a deprecation warning in 8.7. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
