I don't know, I remember some pretty strong words used against goto :) As for the community at large... I don't remember seeing a "strong and diverse opposition" to having both typechecking and smartcasting in PHP. If you have any links, perhaps that will help me grasp how strong and diverse the opposition is. Either way, let me skew your numbers a bit by using Ilia's blog post from last year [1] and earlier this year [2]. If that was my only benchmark I'd say that there is unanimous support for the implementation in current trunk. I guess it shows that different communities produce different opinions.
