Description
The mcrypt extension is described as a recommended requirement for Blesta for encryption, but some people are bringing it up since it is deprecated in php 7.1.
https://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/13363-replacement-for-mcrypt/
We should consider removing that mcrypt recommendation, at least when being installed on php >= 7.1. OpenSSL is the alternative, and is already a minimum requirement. The composer suggestion should also be updated.
