-===== Proposal =====+\\ 
 +Things required to be done for the final decisions: 
 +  * research the author names 
 +  * articulate the exact state of each dead SAPI 
 +  * articulate the exact state and availability of the corresponding server 
 +  * if possible and makes sense, check if the SAPIs compiles, even with very ancient but latest release of the server 
 +  * check if there are packages supported by distros 
 +  * notify the authors about a possible removal of the corresponding SAPI, wait for their response and include it for the final decision
  
-All the features and examples of the proposal.+This RFC crosses with https://wiki.php.net/rfc/size_t_and_int64 as removal of the dead SAPIs will exlude the need of their porting.

-for inclusion in one of the world's most popular programming languages.+
  
-Remember that the RFC contents should be easily reusable in the PHP Documentation. 
 ===== Backward Incompatible Changes ===== ===== Backward Incompatible Changes =====
  
-What breaksand what is the justification for it?+As the dead SAPIs are already deadno BC breach is expected.
  
 ===== Proposed PHP Version(s) ===== ===== Proposed PHP Version(s) =====
  
-List the proposed PHP versions that the feature will be included in.  Use relative versions such as "next PHP 5.x" or "next PHP 5.x.y".+7
  
 ===== SAPIs Impacted ===== ===== SAPIs Impacted =====

-  * hardcoded default values +
-  * php.ini-development values +
-  * php.ini-production values+
  
 ===== Open Issues ===== ===== Open Issues =====
  
-Make sure there are no open issues when the vote starts!+None.
  
 ===== Unaffected PHP Functionality ===== ===== Unaffected PHP Functionality =====

 ===== Future Scope ===== ===== Future Scope =====
  
-This sections details areas where the feature might be improved in future, but that are not currently proposed in this RFC.+Should an SAPI come back, the corresponding code is available in the git history.
