Hi,
Can you please add to the System Health Status an alert for modules that are not longer part of WHMCS and users should consider removing them?
Recently I upgraded to PHP 7.
After the upgrade I had several problems that where solved by removing some old modules that once where part of WHMCS (not manually added modules - I'm talking about modules that came with the WHMCS core system installation) but where removed along the way by WHMCS.
There is a note in the release notes when WHMCS decide to remove such a module - But nothing is actually removed from your local system - so there is a chance that you missed such a notice in the release notes and you still have old unsupported and maybe with security vulnerability module installed on your own WHMCS installation.
I think that such an old module can be dangerous and thus should be added to the System Health Status as a Warnings or even as Needing Attention alert.
Thanks!
Ram

Thanks for this suggestion. In version 7.5 we are introducing the ability for the updater to check for discontinued official modules which are no longer in use, and to remove them during the update to 7.5.
We feel 7.5 is the right time to introduce this, due to the increased Ioncube requirements and added support for new PHP versions means the presence of historic code could cause errors in new environments.
If a discontinued module is activated it will not be considered for removal.
Any removals will be logged to the Activity Log. Any errors in the deletion will also be logged and emailed to full administrators.
