MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for php7-symlinks [2]: This shim package is no longer useful, as nowadays there are version- specific module packages for PHP on AUR, and in many cases a module's latest upstream version only supports PHP 8, so a PHP 7.4 specific variant has to be kept on an older module version.
