If you have vague plans, perhaps introducing `#[Deprecated]` first, then
proposing a separate RFC for the runtime behavior?

For me, runtime behavior is:

 * a big problem with existing tools that started doing this
 * a production outage risk
 * something that attributes shouldn't do anyway, at least not out of the
box (AOP OOTB is quite ugly and unexpected)

As usual, I'm fighting for pushing things into compile-time rather than
runtime, as runtime in PHP is already quite the nightmare of things to keep
in mind.
