I don't really follow this line of argumentation:

If folks do not use the syntax anyways, then we do not need to have this 
discussion, because the tools can just ignore it existing. That also 
means we do not need to revert the change in PHP.

If folks use the syntax, then reverting the change is a breaking change 
for them.

So either the revert is not doing anything at all, or the revert is 
actively harmful. I do not see a situation where reverting the change is 
a value-add.
