E_STRICT is meant as a tool for us (php developers) to signal possible
bad usage of the language and/or possible BC breaks in the future.
Therefore it's perfectly valid to require the update of a package in
order to be E_STRICT compatible with a later PHP version. I doubt that
(for e_strict) there won't be a solution that works on older PHP
versions. It is *that* that we need to make sure doesn't happen then and
we're in the clear.
