I respectfully disagree. We've already covered this actually. The same argument could have been (and probably was) made that stricter adherence to OO standards in PHP 5 would break the PHP paradigm. Instead, it made PHP considerably better and opened it up to a much wider audience. People are still able to write procedural code if they so choose. Likewise, these types would be optional, so people would still be able to write strictly dynamic code if they so choose. If existing code will work exactly the same as before and all this does is add a new feature layer to the next major version, how can anyone reasonably claim that this "breaks" PHP? Gimmie a break.
