Yes, I realize that complete removal would completely kill PHP's adoption for the next version, so I'm thinking about something like an ini setting: "zeh_legacy_includeh = '/zeh/path/to/old/functions.php';" Stupid idea? Security implications? And of course "yet another ini setting". Yet this would allow removing a lot of internal functions that were written just for the sake of it, and move them to something that can be maintained by a larger userbase.
