Deprecating ldap_sort

Hi everyone. Côme Bernigaud and myself are currently cleaning up the LDAP-Extension (Well, Côme is doing the hard work and I'm trying to assist in some way). We would like to bring it in line with a more recent version of the OpenLDAP-lib. Currently the plan is to require OpenLDAP 2.4 as the minimum version to build ext/ldap against. This is on a very good way [1]. But in said OpenLDAP-library the ldap_sort-function already has been marked as deprecated [2]. Therefore we'd like to at least mark PHPs ldap_sort function as deprecated also. The current rewrite will make it possible to later use the server-sided sort functionality so there will be only limited need for the current (client sided) ldap_sort function. As it's a BC-break to remove the ldap_sort function will we have to setup an RFC for that? Or is it a plain "mark it deprecated in PHP7 and throw it away in PHP8" kind of decission? And will it be possible to get that marked deprecated in 7 at all? Thanks for your help in getting this right.
