Greg,

Docblock templates have been around for almost 4 years, and it has not caused any problems in PEAR of overuse. This isn't a potential new problem of millions of developers suddenly adopting docblock templates in their code. Banning them would be the equivalent of outlawing the consumption of windshield wiper fluid. Sure, it's probably not the best thing to do for your personal health in most situations, but is there really an epidemic that needs addressing?

My +1 was more a "phpcs doesn't need to implement it" I do need to do something though. Even if I remove the error and allow docblocks to *begin* with /** rather than exactly match /**, you'll get errors for all the tags you have omitted because of your templates.

There are a lot of rules defined in the current PEAR docblock standards that will need changing in phpcs for this: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.sample.php Greg
