I'm on the fence about making a release for ereg and mysql: it would
help in terms of code availability, but at the same time I feel like
it undermines our message of "no, really, don't use these at all in
PHP 7", even though they'd be marked as unmaintained and deprecated.

I guess I'm open to persuasion either way here.
