Among some minor changes, starting with 7.1, the "mcrypt" extension is deprecated.
So latest version to fix packages which still use/require this dead cow. Will be removed in 7.2 (probably in F28)
Remi.
P.S.1: more information about mcrypt / libmcrypt https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2015/07/07/About-libmcrypt-and-php-mcrypt
P.S.2: mcrypt will be moved to pecl, so it will be possible to create a php-pecl-mcrypt package, BTW, still far better to kill it.
