What I was stating is that: IF you want to keep the old way of doing
things around instead of removing them, it should be "change
settings/tag/whatever so it work as the old way" and not "change it so
it works the new way", that was my only point.
Obviously you don't support a lot of active websites?
One little change in PHP5.3.10 or so wiped out a whole block of mine, and the
fix involved a re-writing all the <?= code across many pages. Simply because the
ISP would not switch back on short tag.
I WILL have all these sites moved to machines I can control all the
configurations of but it all takes time. We simply do not have the time to
rewrite everything every time someone decides they don't like 'the old way', but
we need the security fixes since every exploit is better advertised than the new
features !!!
I repeat what I have said many times ... we need a 'long time stable' API that
just gets security updates so that long time stable sites can be just left to
work ... If you want to rewrite the manual, then start on a new fork of PHP please.
