Another idea (I haven't seen skimming through the replies):
Move use of undefined variable, property and index from E_NOTICE to
E_STRICT as it is a coding style question some people use to find
typos.
I'd be totally -1 on that...
Using un-initialized variables will lead the newbie scripter into all
kinds of problems if you don't break that habit while they are
young...
I think php.ini default should have E_NOTICE "on" and have said so
since version 4.x, maybe even 3.x
Make E_STRICT on by default and you'd have the same "newbie-protection".
But that's an independent question (default error reporting level).
Uninitialized variables IMHO fall exactly into the same category as
OO-non-strictness: Some people consider the comfort factor worth the
added risk of not catching a typo.
So it's not about having the feature of reporting uninitialized
variables or not, it's just about what error level to assign to it.
My two cents,
