I don't see why we'd need new E_STRICT's, but what stops us from adding E_DEPRECATED to 5.6.x? I think the likelihood of getting these notices in the hands of people goes way higher if we put it into 5.6.x, which will be perceived as a bug-fix release, than a 5.7.0, which will be perceived as a feature release.
