The PHP version has 500 million installs tracked by Packagist. The is() function is part of the design inherited from the original Java library, and is used in many of the examples in the README so is likely to be widely used in the wild: https://github.com/hamcrest/hamcrest-php#usage I think we should think very carefully whether we can avoid disrupting that much code.
