I'm sorry, but if you seriously believe doing something that generates a notice (or warning, or error, ...) is not a bug - you're delusional. That is the very definition of a bug and notices/warnings/errors etc. are the mechanism the language uses to report these bugs to the developer. If doing X has been generating a notice for 20 years, then doing X is wrong and a bug, period. Why would there even be a notice if the language itself doesn't consider what you're doing to be buggy? What is the purpose of notices then? I really don't understand how anyone could contest this.
