All,
I propose the following timeline to give ext/mcrypt the viking funeral
it deserves:
PHP 7.1 - all mcrypt functions raise E_DEPRECATED
PHP 8.0 - remove ext/mcrypt, only make it available through PECL
There will be no compatibility layer in this proposal, but if someone
wants to build one that sits atop openssl, feel free to do that
separately.
