E_ALL should have been called E_RECOMMENDED or E_DEFAULT to avoid this confusion but in reality changing E_ALL to include everything would unnecessarily break existing installations. I think we will have to live with this misnomer and not try to 'fix' it. I'm with Lukas there about the E_STRICT/E_DEPRECATED split but I'm not even sure if E_DEPRECATED should be included in E_ALL: It depends on how liberally things will get marked E_DEPRECATED. - Chris
