Do you really want to do this ? > these extensions are too widely used to straight up remove them, For mcrypt, I think lot of project use it as optional (perhaps, at least, because a Enterprise distro doesn't provide it) Recently phpMyAdmin have switch to openssl first. Remember, if it is dropped from PHP, it will be available as a pecl extension. We need a strong signal about "don't use this dead cow", and I think, moving it to pecl is such a signal.
