Hi PHP team,
I've opened the vote on https://wiki.php.net/rfc/mcrypt-viking-funeral
which aims to deprecate ext/mcrypt in PHP 7.1 then remove it in 7.1+1 (i.e.
make it only installable via PECL).
In the interim, I'll be developing a (MIT licensed) decryption-only
userland implementation of the mcrypt ciphers so people can migrate their
code towards something better.
This vote is opened on March 15th, 2016 and will close March 22th at 17:00
UTC.
(Sidenote: Apologies for the brief unannounced hiatus from participating
here.)
