At the time I'm the only one who voted "no" on 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_6#deprecate_dechunk_filter

As things currently stand, projects that rely on this functionality 
(notably symfony/http-client and php-http/message) will start triggering 
deprecation notices in PHP 8.6. There are no plans to expose the 
underlying behaviour in an alternative way, despite this concern being 
raised during the discussion period.

I believe we should provide such an alternative together with the 
deprecation, rather than expecting projects with 200M+ installations to 
"find an alternative, such as decoding it using code written in PHP".

My 2c.
