I don't see an impact analysis for this one, and unless it's having *no* impact, I don't think we should remove it. - Deprecate Metaphone Function I don't see why this is useful. It causes no harm AFAICT. - Deprecate dechunk filter I believe that if you deprecate this as a filter, then there should be a userland function that does the same thing (in a sane way). cheers, Derick -- https://derickrethans.nl | https://xdebug.org | https://xdebug.cloud Author of Xdebug.
