They were already shooting them in the foot by using references wrong... 
and you did have about a month to test your code (Horde I presume) with 
the new PHP 4.4 release candidates. And it's just a notice... which you 
should always have off on a production machine. So I don't think we 
should put a BIG warning on php.net because people didn't quite 
understand how references worked (me included).
