I'll throw the water on this one: <?php $c = 0; $a = 1; var_dump($c || $a); ?> With the existing PHP, this script results in: bool(true) With your proposed change because it would return the first non-null set variable, it will instead output: int(0) Changing true into false consitutes a rather severe BC break :).
