Hello,
Since your project is just a single example, we still can't make such a bold
claim that
\Attribute is used a lot.
While "attribute" is a fairly generic word, just about everyone uses
namespaced
classes and therefore it's not a huge problem. Moreover, PHP 8 is a major
release so BC in such cases isn't the first priority.
Also, it's important to mention that the introduction of functions such as
str_contains() is also a breaking change for some. But the benefits it
provides outweigh the 0.1% who may get BC issues.
Best regards,
Benas Seliuginas
