Here is one of the exceptions threads in internals@:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=108173999125340&w=2
Not sure if this thread is going to move us forward at all, because each camp will find exactly their argument again and still dont see the others.
I tried to summarize the issue at hand before but I will give it another try. Atleast part of the issue is the following question:
Should errors be fatal if they are not handled or not?
A mistake in your conf array will likely mean things will not work as planned. While being able to know that something went wrong is obviously important, the question is when the error is not handled should this be a fatal error or not?
At this fundamental question is the separation into the two camps we currently experience and I dont see where we can reasonably find a compromise on such a fundamental level.

Lukas
