One very important factor for breaking BC in PHP is also the gain if you are changing something so centric as the basic output constructs. I don't see changing echo/print to include a new line would ever pass due to this, however I could see (and possibly vote yes) to a new construct that did the exact same with a new line afterwards. These however are matters which should, by our process, be discussed through RFCs that weights pros/cons and the overall impact and demand. Like Johannes said; there haven't been a high enough demand for anyone to have voiced their opinion strongly, or at least not the 11 years I have been contributing myself or the two years I was an internals reader before that, that I can remember. I suggest the OP to start such a process, which can be done by registering a user on our wiki and following the instructions for write access to the RFC namespace. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen kalle@php.net
