We've talked about this RFC with several other members of AFUP (French UG), and we pretty much all agree that PHP 7 is the right time to remove these alternative tags. This might/will cause BC-breaks for a few scripts and applications, but it seems acceptable, as: * Those alternative tags are not used that much (so, not too many applications should break) * Detecting and fixing these breaks should not be too hard and can, at least in part, be automated. -- Pascal MARTIN http://blog.pascal-martin.fr/ @pascal_martin
