Overview
We have a system check that warns people if mcrypt is not available. This refines that to only warn affected sites - ie. ones that have their smtp password stored in the database. There are no other places that core uses encryption so it's not appropriate for people to get messages if they are unaffected.
Before
Site on php 7.2 gets encryption warning, regardless of whether they have stored smtp passwords
After
Site on php 7.2 (or other site without mcrypt) only gets warning if they have stored smtp passwords
Technical Details
Extensions that wish to have a version of this should implement it themselves as
it is basically pretty trivial & it doesn't make sense to spam non-affected people
Comments
I also altered the wording as our php version recommendations have changed we no longer actively recommend mcrypt
