No, as this breaks backwards compability. I have code written for this
and that is going to be released. If the class constants are removed,
you will break code that is out there. There were similar reasons why
Wez didn't want to change the odd PDO method because people were running
it production while PDO was not even beta - which is fine. But you can
definitely not change code in a released version.
Derick, the Date class is in "a released version" because you
sneaked it in through the backdoor. Activating a class in
the final RC was obviously wrong and you are very well aware
of the fact. Don't try to cover up now.
