mcrypt is deprecated in PHP 7.x

Hello friends,

I tried one of my CI based apps that built with CI v3.x latest version in PHP 7.1.5

And then I got this huge list of mcript depricated errors. 



I just wanted to know that, are you guys gonna remove this mcript library from CI v3.x and rewrite encription library from scracth?

I saw somewere that mcript library gonna completely remove from PHP 7.2. so if that happen, our apps will not gonna work.

Thankyou guys

DUOS.
