I don't think that's specified anywhere — we _can_ choose to remove
them in 5.6 if we want to, but that doesn't mean we have to. I
deliberately left that open ended for the ext/mysql deprecation, for
instance.
Personally, I'd be pretty strongly against unbundling ext/mysql in
5.6, as it's still too heavily used. The lag time for new PHP releases
to start getting widespread use is long enough that most users haven't
even seen a deprecation warning yet.
The others: meh. I'm not qualified to judge how used those intl
functions are, and while /e is an abomination, nobody new is going to
get owned if it survives one more release. Neutral on those.
