In that case, it's a shame that wasn't followed through with an RFC at 
the time, which would have allowed us to remove it for PHP 7.

As it is, I don't see how we can justify removing it outright with no 
warning to end users, and if we're only deprecating, there's no hurry, 
because we can deprecate in 7.1.

It might be a reasonable idea for RFCs targeting 7.1 to sit in a list of 
drafts for now, and enter full discussion once 7.0 is out the door.
