Don't you think its a bit silly to keep BC with something that hasn't even been officially released yet? Depriciated things in the fist official release?
I agree. Having two names and introducing deprecated names now is pure bloat and maintenance hell. Let people fix all the existing code now, which should be about a total of 100 lines of code in the world.
And no, tutorials and books don't count, you don't want them to promote a deprecated API either. They should be changed.
Change it now or regret(support) it the rest of you (PHP-)live :-) - Chris
