Andi, if you go back and actually read those files they claim to be 'default 
settings' and 'production settings' respectively. I agree the whole idea of 
'default settings' should be dropped (in this sense), but I think you'll 
find most people out there take those directives as 'how PHP should be 
used'. To me it's a tad worrying - given that context - that the 
error_reporting recommendations are as they are.

Since both files are being, if you like, 'marketed' in the way Brian 
mentioned, it might be a good time to a) rename them in the way he suggested 
and b) go through those settings with a fine-toothed comb before doing so.

Just an opinion, of course...
