deprecated mcrypt module still required by Magento 2

Hello.

I wanted to install Magento2 on a XAMPP latest version with PHP 7.2. At the time of checking the modules, the PHP mcrypt module was missing. So I installed the previous version of XAMPP with a PHP 7.1. And no problem, after activating the soap module.

The mcrypt module is no longer updated since 2007 and is no longer present in PHP 7.2. Hence two questions:

1- Why use this deprecated module, introducing possible security vulnerabilities, while updated modules exist?

2- Will there be an update for Magento 2 to use a module other than mcrypt, and so Magento 2 will be compatible with PHP 7.2 ?
