Great! It was about time this got removed. And it is a perfect timing
also - PHP 8.0 when BC breaking changes can be done. Thank you so much
for moving this forward. People who are thinking of supporting some
legacy applications on the upcoming PHP 8 will be unfortunately a bit
surprised with all the removed features and will have other bigger
issues adjusting their code compared to a really simple replace of <?
with <?php. It's what the software development and progress is also
about.
I think this is a good move.
