Comment (by desrosj):
The variable was deprecated in PHP 5.6 and removed from PHP in version
7.0.
What about the following plan:
- Leave as is for now (Core still supports 5.6).
- Publish a post on Make/Core and cross post to the Make/Plugins blog
detailing that this variable should not be used, and `php://input` should
be used instead.
- Detailing in that post that it would be removed from core when the
minimum required version of PHP is bumped to 7.0.
- Removing the variable in Core when the version requirement is bumped to
7.0.
If by chance someone is utilizing the variable, it will still work as
expected for now, but there is documentation around how to stop using it,
and they are given some time to make an adjustment. The comments of that
post on Make/Core may also give us some BC guidance if someone is using it
unconventionally.
