Ok so it seems that the CS was just reverted (apparently Derick actually intended to have reverted the CS much earlier). I guess we have the "its ugly" and "its harder to read" on one side. And the "it's the OO standard", "it is easier to read for OO code" and "it breaks compatibility with PEAR" on the other side. Since Marcus patch there are no technical reasons anymore (since we can now preserve case in error messages etc). However I think everybody on the "suckyCaps" side needs to ask themselves if they don't happen to be against this because they think OO sucks. And if that is the case maybe they shouldn't tell the people that do intent to use the OO API's that they should look like the good ol functional APIs.
