Reason
The Suhosin extension is grand total of 10 lines of important code, all to do with $wgResourceLoaderMaxQueryLength. However, most people don't consider the suhosin PHP extension to be valuable after PHP 5.4 - it's really for pre-PHP 5.3...which we're looong past.
In any case, the MediaWiki extension has little to no value, and should be archived. The documentation on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Suhosin already covers everything that the extension does for you.
