Well, probably, because I don't even know why I had to write an RFC
for this kind of stuff.

None are affected in a direct way. It's just that POST data will
probably only exist with web SAPIs or to be more explicit, SAPIs
providing a read_post handler.
Actually, no web SAPI had to be changed, just the CLI server hack
needed attention.

How about there are not many implications? Did you notice the BC
recovering userland code? There's really not much about it. I'm very
bad with talking much about nothing...

### From "Changes to PHP-5.6":
* Change always_populate_raw_post_data INI setting to accept three
values instead of two.
* -1: The behavior of master; don't ever populate
$GLOBALS[HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA]
* 0/off/whatever: BC behavior
* 1/on/yes/true: BC behavior
INI-default was not touched, I just changed the *commented* value in
php.ini to -1, the value providing future proof behavior.
### From "Backward Incompatible Changes to master":
$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and always_populate_raw_post_data were removed.
Nothing more to add here, or is removed non-obvious?
Cheers,
Mike, who would have loved to talk about all that nearly *three* months ago.
