I honestly don't know anymore.
I think it will be too early to remove this package in J7. The reason is because as of right now, we still have few problems with the problem with framework http package:
- Proxy support is not available like in the CMS http package
- Creating http object require repeating code everywhere to init user-agent (and proxy options if needed)
I think we should postpone this to J8 to give more time for developer to switch to the new package. Plus these removed classes should be added to Backward Compatibility plugin, too
Converted to draft, can be removed earliest in 8.0 also should consider @joomdonation points.
Was there any kind of decision that we do not stick here to the +2 major rule?
