Oh, absolutely. We run those "on" in our dev and QA environments but off in production. I'm referring to the work required to mitigate the removal once we plan to migrate to 9. Although our codebase is old, we are funded to keep the code up to date. It's just that a handful of the changes, such as removing dynamic properties, has such a large impact and such a questionable benefit. It's only a tiny portion of the language changes, though, and I mention it just for awareness, as we are **VERY** appreciative of the work everyone puts into the PHP project. I know it's a thankless task. -Jeff
