Sirs, Gentlemen and Scholars,
I am appreciative of all of the discussion that has happened on the mysql_deprecation RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/mysql_deprecation). It has helped me understand how we feel collectively about ext/mysql and how to deprecate it. I believe that clarifying what the term 'deprecation' means could help everyone to understand what we are trying to accomplish.
To quote wikipedia on the word 'deprecation':
In the process of authoring computer software, its standards or documentation, or other technical standards, deprecation is a status applied to features, characteristics, or practices to indicate that they should be avoided, typically because they have been superseded.
I think we all agree that ext/mysql should be avoided and that it has been superseded. What I want to point out is that deprecation is a process. The real question is: have we taken the proper steps in that process?
In the Stack Overflow PHP chat you may notice the regulars using tags like cv-pls, cv-ring and delv-pls. These tags are used only in the chat room to communicate with other users that a question or answer may need more votes to be closed or deleted. The PHP tag has a lot of inferior quality and duplicative information on Stack Overflow. We feel that inferior quality questions bring down the site and make it harder to find good information, particularly about PHP. By closing and merging these questions as appropriate you'll find the information you need quicker.
cv-ring is just a 'funny name' we give to the group of regulars who use the tagscv-pls is an in-chat tag that communicates "Hey, this question may be of inferior quality. Check it out and, if you feel appropriate, cast a close vote."delv-pls is an in-chat tag that communicates "Hey, this question has alr

In the comments from my last post and on Twitter I noticed a lot of people who had something to say about PHP. The comments were varied but they usally sounded something like this (sorry @ipetepete, I picked yours because it was the shortest).
...the little bits of soul from all of us who've had to work on, and or maintain large PHP applications. – ipetepete
In Pete's defense, he did go on to say that rest of the stack I was using was a "smorgasbord of awesome". Thanks, Pete. I agree!
I would, however, like to take a little time to correct a misperception in the developer community about PHP. I recently got into this same... discussion... with Jeff Atwood, and I seem to be running into it more and more. So here goes. Please bear with me as I cover a little history further on.
Pete, and everybody else, _you're exactly rig
