Original pull request : https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/12526 @wouterj @xabbuh @nicolas-grekas @fabpot The feature implement the CompilerPass AutoAliasServicePass see https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Component/DependencyInjection/Compiler/AutoAliasServicePass.php Unfortunately it has never been wired. So it is not available in symfony. Why do we keep this feature if it is not wired?
