The usage of "var" may continue to decline as folks increasingly adopt the
newer visibility keywords. Perhaps it's too early to make this decision
and this discussion needs to be postponed for some time? I'm okay with
that. But if/when the decision is made to remove it, doing so in a major
release with ample warning seems to be the right approach, and 8.0 seems
far enough way to be a potential candidate.
I truly appreciate your thoughts and feedback. Thank you!
