## #100981 — Christoph M. Becker — 2017-10-28T16:05:26+00:00

Hi internals!

Bug #75442[1] correctly mentions that the constants
FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED and FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED are
practically unused as of PHP 5.2.1.  (Well, they have been used in a
single test case, but I have just removed them[2]).

So I suggest to deprecate these constants as of PHP 7.3, and to remove
them as of PHP 8.0.  Would that require the RFC process?
