About the deprecation, I think it's OK to have a mode where deprecated functionality doesn't work, but we should definitely leave it in for now to allow people to make an easier transition. Maybe the best solution is to allow people something like --disable-deprecated which gets rid of them, and connect the deprecated functionality to E_STRICT. Andi
I agree with --disable-deprecated, it seems to be the best option. Do you think it would be relevant to have a php.ini option for this?

What's the point of deprecating things if you never remove them? Seems like an empty threat. And --disable-deprecated seems like a horrible idea to me - it greatly reduces the portability of scripts and increases the wtf factor by having them runable in some places and not runnable in others. George
