Zeev,
while I'll applaud to the changes you propose, I suggest this
happens in 4.1. I know, this is really a cosmetic change only,
and doesn't justify the bump from the perspective of the PHP
developers, but is a major one from the perspective of a PHP
user.
Defaulting error_reporting to E_ALL, and turning register_globals
off means 99% percent of current applications won't work, and
given the current behavior of zend_error(), where PHP basically
reports bogus line numbers (http://www.php.net/bugs.php?id=1225)
this is really hard to get around. With 4.1, it'll be clear that
a massive change is coming. I'd vote for 4.7 (current state of
things) -> 4.1 (register_globals off, error_reporting E_ALL).
Other than that, hip hip hurray!!!
