I asked similar questions on Twitter, where Zeev replied the following:=C2=
=A0https://mobile.twitter.com/zeevs/status/1158688885658046464

It feels like much of the counter arguments are based on guesses without =
any real data to point to. On the other hand it's unfair to dismiss the c=
ounter arguments altogether because of this, as there's no way to gather =
accurate data about the usage of short open tags, let alone know how many=
 developers using them actually plan on ever upgrading to 7.4=E2=80=A6

Kind regards
