Why do you top post too then? :)

Are you asking to add an option to do exactly the same than the error
reporting option does?

Warning on install, on connect and in the doc is not enough? :)  And
once it is on pecl, we have the superseded/deprecated flag too there.
It won't help for distros but distros will follow app leads, as usual.
The only reason why distros still provide ext/mysql by default is
because the apps require it by default.
