Thanks for everyone who voted on this issue.

Great! It was about time this got removed. And it is a perfect timing
also - PHP 8.0 when BC breaking changes can be done. Thank you so much
for moving this forward. People who are thinking of supporting some
legacy applications on the upcoming PHP 8 will be unfortunately a bit
surprised with all the removed features and will have other bigger
issues adjusting their code compared to a really simple replace of <?
with <?php. It's what the software development and progress is also
about.
I think this is a good move.

Hi,
I agree on this to some degree when it comes to your own code that you
control. But,
imagine a relatively big open source library that is maintained with
small resources.
One example I have myself is using a relatively large & well established
open source
library where I'm using the latest version released before Christmas. I
run the site on
PHP 7.3, but I still get warnings regarding the RFC Counting of
non-countable objects
for PHP 7.2 related to this library.
With that experience in mind I wonder how different libraries will fare,
given this
change? One should also have in mind that there has been a discussion on
this
list about extending the support cycle for PHP 7.4 like for 5.6, but to
some degree
it was rejected which doesn't help migration efforts.
