Six month is absolutely enough. I get a bus load of messages on multiple servers for something I don't need to address this year.

Hi Michael,

I did not miss this. I understand that it is indeed annoying but while
maintaining these php ports over the years I have seen people ranting
that I did not give them enough time(I have tried with 3/6 months). So
rather than hearing peoples rants or tantrums I prefer it like this.

But I will send another mail in the ml regarding the life-cycle of
php specially when we should change the defaults and when we should
mark it deprecated sometimes next week. For now enjoy the messages.

Kind regards,
Moin
