I disagree.  Whether we're deprecating an extension or a subset of
functions, the practical impact is pretty much the same.  As for moving it
to PECL, why are we even discussing that here?  It's completely outside the
scope of this RFC.  I imagine moving it to PECL would make the most sense
when the time comes, but we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.  We should
deprecate it first, then when the time comes (i.e. 6.0) we can figure out
where to dump its carcas.

Either way, our common goal here is to get people to stop using ext/mysql
now so that we can trash it when the time comes.  And as far as that goes,
I think that what happened with magic_quotes and Drupal is a perfect
example of how deprecation can effectively push devs to act when docs and
"get the word out" campaigns aren't enough.
