I think that wording change should be part of the proposed change in the 
RFC. Otherwise, a lot of people simply won't know the decision to remove 
it has been made and will be surprised when 9.0 comes around.

I used a similar approach in 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-bareword-strings because I wanted the 
visibility of E_WARNING but the clear mention of deprecation.
