It is definitely better than breaking backwards compatibility of functions that behaved like that for 4 years. I just checked that there are 78 occorrences of use of strtok and 34 of dirname in the code of PHP Classes repository. Many users use those classes for a long time. I am going to release a warning so that the authors either avoid those functions or the users not upgrade to PHP 4.1.0 .
