Hi all!
Sorry for dropping the ball on reporting from the Architecture Committee. After
the holidays and the Developer Summit, I'm working on catching up. Things should
be back to normal by next week.
This final call regarding Deprecation Policy for PHP Code has passed without any
new concerns being raised.
The RFC is thus approved.
The deprecation policy as described in the RFC should be considered official
policy.
Regards,
Daniel

Hi all!
At the ArchCom office hour (aka RFC IRC meeting) on December 14, we discussed
Legoktm's proposal for a deprecation policy for PHP code [1]. This would
supersede the current guideline [2], allowing deprecated code to be removed
after a couple of releases, even if it may still used by some extensions.
At the IRC meeting, we decided to approve this policy for a final call [3][4].
This means that it will be adopted as official policy if no new pertinent issues
are raised within a week.
Cheers,
Daniel
