The PHP internals mailing list is discussing the RFC for deprecations planned for PHP 8.6. Gina P. Banyard announced the annual deprecations RFC, noting each deprecation will be voted on individually and the RFC must be frozen by July 13th. Community members raised concerns: Nicolas Grekas asked for clarification on deprecating CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION for curl_setopt(), Juliette Reinders Folmer criticized the lack of impact analysis for the proposals (offering to help via PHP_CodeSniffer and PHPCompatibility), and Rowan Tommins flagged the deprecation of the _() alias for gettext() as potentially very disruptive given its widespread use across codebases.
