This change has a big impact on backward compatibility and will break existing code. Possible work arounds as discussed on the mailinglist have their own problems and inconsistencies, while still not solving all issues. Therefore Stas and I think this change is not ready for inclusion in PHP 5.4 and will not make it into the alpha 3. I think we all can agree here that with just a minimal lead in votes and not reaching a 2/3 majority and a lot of core devs rejecting it, it's better to leave it out at the moment. - David
