My suggestion is to restore the old code in its entirely, and introduce the new implementation as new functions with a proper prefix, a-la PHP 2005. I think it's better than an INI entry, and it should be fairly straightforward to implement. I don't think anybody is underestimating Derick's efforts towards building this new date functionality. I certainly don't. I also don't see any reason to break compatibility in something as basic as this, so this should be introduced either as a new (preferably) or optional (less preferably) feature.
