Nikita, I'm a bit worried that using this as a standard test suite may (repeatedly?) give us a false sense of security to go ahead with compatibility breaking changes. Composer packages, almost by definition - tend to be of higher quality than the 'average' PHP code (at the very least they're redistributable, but arguably Composer users are more advanced than the average developer - even more so those who publish packages). On top of that - probably the some of the most redistributed pieces of code in the PHP space - aren't covered by Composer at all (e.g. WordPress). Is this scanner available in a form that users could run it against their code basis and have it report to a server, perhaps after showing what it would report?
This way, users and less polished code could be put to the same test. -Clint
