Ok, I think COM has been sufficiently well defended for now, so it  
stays hopefully someone(s) will find the time to look at the bugs and  
close and bogus them as needed.

As far mhash & socket, I agree that it would be wrong to remove them  
in 5.2, so let's remove them for now in PHP 6.0 and when we get to  
5.3 we'll take the out of there as well. If someone from the doc team  
is reading, perhaps you can add a notice to the manual indicating  
that these two extensions are going away in future releases.

Thanks to everyone for their feedback.

Shouldn't we mark them with PHP_DEP_FE until then?

If we do so, we should do it in 5.3.0 (if it is not removed in 5.3.0
;). I'm not a fan of adding "noises" in patches release.
