Fair point.=20

Given the scope of it, I think realistically *any* change suggested here sho=
uld aim to target 9.0 for the deprecation (and 10 for the change) to give us=
erland a full major release cycle (recent history shows this is ~5 years).=20=


As I said earlier, after a couple of decades of exposure to client projects,=
 I'm not convinced that the top 1000 or even 10000 composer packages is nece=
ssarily representative of the majority of userland code in the world.=20


Cheers
