Hi!
I've just noticed that ICU has deprecated the IDNA 2003 related
functions as of ICU 55[1]. Therefore I suggest that we deprecate
INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 as of PHP 7.2, make INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46 the
default as of PHP 8.0(?) (or even remove this parameter?), and remove
INT_IDNA_VARIANT_2003 as of PHP 8.0. Otherwise we may get into trouble
if ICU removes these functions.
Thoughts? Does this change require an RFC?
