There's an RFC about it https://wiki.php.net/rfc/removal_of_dead_sapis
.
It came into being while working on the int64 branch, but now becomes more
relevant with phpng. The simple idea is first to check all those, if it
turns out those SAPIs will be supported by the authors, or at least
there's a minority using them, it might make sense to port them.
Implementing that RFC were a clean and predictable way to go IMHO.
