As near as I can tell, leaving it in seems to be the way to go at the moment. Being as they're E_NOTICEs and not full-on E_WARNINGs and the fact that the actual behaviour of the function hasn't changed (except, of course, the E_NOTICEs), it seems to be a good reminder that the undocumented behaviour being relied upon is subject to change. (And will change in 5, for that matter.) I'd imagine that most setups ignore E_NOTICEs, so most people won't even notice. (No pun intended, of course.)

Notwithstanding its very unsafe to make such an assumption, the minority of setups affected by this change could still be in the thousands, tens or even hundreds of thousands. IMHO, if the function behaviour hasn't changed, there should be no notice warning about possible future changes. Thats what documentation and announcements are for.

Will this be fixed before the 4.3.4 release?
