You'll need RFC karma either way, but it's probably best to include that 
as part of the PHP 8.6 bulk deprecation RFC. It's a small follow-up to a 
previous deprecation and it's probably not useful to discuss and vote 
that one on its own, since the discussion probably is not going to be 
particularly insightful.

The current draft for the bulk deprecation RFC is here: 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_6
