Re: [RFC] Remove deprecated functionality in PHP 7

I don't see how this follows. We may keep them deprecated (which means - don't use this, it's bad idea) but not remove them to support older code. Deprecated doesn't have to mean "we will mandatory remove it in the next version", it may also mean "we no longer think this is a good idea, please move on from it". -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
