My personal opinion: there should be no old style errors, warnings or notices. I don't want to have any more situations like "Oh, there was something wrong with your code. Hope you'll notice this in your error logs. Meanwhile, the app will just kinda limp along, likely resulting in bogus data/behavior." There should only be E_DEPRECATED for things that will change in a future release and E_ERROR for rare situations that can't be reasonably handled with exceptions (like uh, unhandled exceptions and OOM errors). Everything else should be an exception, period. -- Best regards, Max Semenik
