Yes, I feel like we must discuss this a thousand times anew. There clearly is no consensus about it. Just look at the responses in this thread and in other discussions relating this issue. When people read "throws a warning, but only if display_errors=Off" they automatically replace the Off with an On in their mind. The behavior is simply that unintuitive. Also I'd like to point out that we already decided to *not* use this behavior in other, similar situations. E.g. max_input_vars throws regardless of display_errors (and yes, this was discussed when the feature was introduced).
In any case, I don't care *that* much about how json_encode behaves, so I'd be fine with either way. Would just be nice if someone could tell me what that "way" should be. I didn't see any consensus in the discussion. > But what I am worried about even more is getting back to that "commit > first, discuss later" mentality.

I didn't consider the warning such an important aspect of this issue and thought that it would be okay to simply adjust it in a separate commit.
