Sometimes as in this case BC means sticking to "it's not a bug it's a feature".
In PHP 4 oo was nothing more than structures with a not thought out possibility
to attach normal functions.
Since we now seem to reach a very good oo level, why shouldn't we remove such crap? I mean every code that uses oo will be rewritten anyway.
Marcus,
You and all the rest who want to break BC on this issue are welcome to use static in your code.
IMO, nothing prevents you from writing nice OO code. It's not as if this is forcing you not to use static.
