The change you refer to happened nine years ago, when PDO and mysqli were
bundled into the release of PHP 5.0.0. You've had the option of using
either since then.
Make no mistake: ext/mysql will be removed at a future date. The manual
text isn't hyperbole. All I'm saying is that it almost certainly won't be
next year, but that it will be soon enough that writing new code to use
ext/mysql is unwise.
