I talked to Nikita earlier today, in order to try to align the strict arg
count RFC with https://wiki.php.net/rfc/reclassify_e_strict and the
conclusion was the following:

It's a good thing to reclassify E_STRICT as this simplifies PHP error model
and resolves the currently unclear role of strict standards notices. As a
supporter of Nikita's idea, I'm removing E_STRICT from the voting options.
Consider this my collaboration to help to unifiy the error level model and
go a bit farther from the current "error level buffet" state we got
ourselves historically, on PHP.

This leaves us with E_WARNING vs E_NOTICE and I'm sufficiently comfortable
to allow a secondary voting between these two error levels.

Thanks,
Márcio
