I agree with this and feel very strongly about it, we should not delay
deprecations since they can be disabled on a configuration level by
removing the E_DEPRECATED bits from error_reporting anyway. Allowing
our users to know at the earliest possible moment when something is
going to be deprecated allows userland to have a larger time for
upgrading as these warnings about certain behavior will change many
years from now, but old behavior is still in effect.
