Hi all,

I have made some minor updates to this RFC, to explicitly recommend 
mb_convert_encoding as the alternative. See the "Alternatives to Removed 
Functionality" for the reasoning.

If there is no further feedback, I will open voting some time next week, 
so if you have any concerns or queries please let me know.

Regards,
