Do all situations that will throw after the RFC trigger a warning right now? Eg var_dump(substr(null, 1)); doesn't trigger anything but returns false - does that mean it will not throw a TypeError in your proposal? > if you are deliberately suppressing warnings, in which case chances are > very good that you are also suppressing deprecations. > This assumption is wrong in the Symfony ecoystem! We built the deprecation framework around silenced (and unsilenced) deprecations, which are all caught and logged. So it would make a huge difference actually, at least for situations where no warning is triggered (see substr example above). Nicolas
