-1, not that my vote matters, but huge -1. Nothing of value is gained by doing this. If there is something of value in doing this, or some far future feature this clears the way for, please enlighten me. But from where I sit this does nothing but break code for no reason. And yes, emitting E_DEPRECATED is a breaking issue for any code base that prides itself in being about to run all it's units with E_ALL set. If we are going to go about removing stupid operators in PHP, the current use of @ as an error suppression operator is much higher on the list since encourages people to write bad code by sweeping problems under the rug, and removing it would allow the operator to be reassigned to use as an annotation operator as seen in Java and other language. I'm not holding my breath for that to be done either.
