Update: it looks like nearly all the Symfony usages have already been fixed=
 for Symfony 8.=0A=
=0A=
I re-downloaded and analyzed the top 1500 packages again this afternoon, an=
d now there=0A=
are a total of 159 `__sleep` methods and 207 `__wakeup` methods in 65 disti=
nct packages,=0A=
a significant drop from when I did the analysis yesterday.=0A=
=0A=
107 of the methods are empty, and 65 only contain a single throw statement.=
=0A=
Over 62% of the remaining methods exist in just 9 packages:=0A=
=0A=
* doctrine\orm - 14=0A=
* drupal\core - 36=0A=
* johnpbloch\wordpress-core - 6=0A=
* laminas\laminas-server - 7=0A=
* maatwebsite\excel - 7=0A=
* magento\zend-db - 6=0A=
* pdepend\pdepend - 32=0A=
* swiftmailer\swiftmailer - 7=0A=
* typo3\cms-extbase - 6=0A=
=0A=
I updated the above gist and Google Sheet links with the data from today.=
