Fair point.

Given the scope of it, I think realistically *any* change suggested here should aim to target 9.0
for the deprecation (and 10 for the change) to give userland a full major release cycle (recent
history shows this is ~5 years). 

As I said earlier, after a couple of decades of exposure to client projects, I'm not convinced
that the top 1000 or even 10000 composer packages is necessarily representative of the majority of
userland code in the world. 


Cheers
