Might one possible way forward be to work with the PHPUnit folks to make deprecations not a test-breaking issue, but report them side-channel somehow? (Like "risky" tests now pass, but have an extra note on them.) That seems like it would resolve the "deprecations get turned into breaking changes immediately" problem, at least.There is already a "convertDeprecationsToExceptions" configuration setting, but it defaults to "true": https://phpunit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuration.html I disagree with that default, but presumably some people think it is a sensible one.
