I guess we're in some kind of limbo where half of the people do not consider problems which
short open tags create as serious, and other half does not
consider BC break implications as serious.
I already migrated some quite big legacy apps from
<? to <?php using
existing tools for this, and I can't even image simpler BC break to deal
with. So for me "it will be so hard to upgrade" arguments are also exaggerated, and
that's why I'm concerned about future BC breaks - if such simple
change encounters such fierce resistance, then what kind of BC break can be accepted?
