Furthermore, some compatibility flags where a core function changes
behaviour could be a disservice as well. Even though they were meant
to ease a BC transition, you suddently can't be sure if your code runs
on any other servicer even if the x.y.z version is the same.
In some cases it could just result in Even Another Intial Ini-Check In
Your PHP Code.
