Description of problem: The PHP stack in RHEL 8 has libargon2 and libsodium support disabled, which severely cripples or breaks the ability for PHP web applications to do secure password hashing, among other things. For example, Symfony-based web applications based on Symfony 3.4 can and will use argon2i algorithms[1], and Symfony-based web applications based on Symfony 4.3 can and will use sodium for this[2]. Please reconsider and enable support for argon2 and sodium in PHP.

We are not planning to add additional cryptography libraries into RHEL, sorry.
We are not planning to support additional cryptography libraries in RHEL, hence sodium/argon support will remain disabled in PHP.
