Comment (by skithund):

 The hosting handbook recommends installing `mcrypt` extension "for the
 sake of completeness".

 [http://php.net/manual/en/intro.mcrypt.php It has been deprecated] in PHP
 7.1.0 and was removed in 7.2.0. Sure, there's a PECL version available,
 but I wouldn't call hosting best practices recommending installing it.
