I'd like to start voting on this sometime soon. I've updated the RFC to
include more info on some individual deprecated functionality and also
created blocks for individual votes. I've created seven instead of the
original three. If you want me to split off some point into an extra vote,
please say so.

I've also found that in https://wiki.php.net/rfc/incompat_ctx the vote
already decided that it should be removed in the next version (-> PHP 7.0).
So, anyone have a problem with dropping that right away without doing a
second round of voting?

Nikita
