Playing my favourite broken record: Can we please state that additions of Exceptions should (in most cases) go through an E_WARNING phase to allow a time window to fix code before changing the behaviour? I'm fine with not needing an RFC for such changes as long as the migration process is being respected. Regards, - Chris
