If this list had an FAQ (which I think it should), this would be on it. The answer is no, it's just not worth it. Having a function called str_pos which is an alias of strpos, but only on some versions, is more confusing, not less. Some people, such as the author of phpsadness.com, enjoy ranting about things, and would probably find a way to be as critical of the new aliases as the current names.
