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
