This means, if we want to keep them, we have to take ownership and
maintain those libraries.
Do you really want to do this ?

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.
